Question

What is the best way to stop if your brakes fail while you are driving downhill?

Answers

Steer onto an escape ramp.

Let the vehicle slow down on its own.

Let rumble strips slow your vehicle.

Explanation

If your brakes fail on a downgrade, you will need to quickly find something outside that can stop your vehicle. An escape ramp is the best option. If no escape ramp is available, use the least hazardous available option, such as driving into an open field or side road that flattens out or turns uphill.
