Pump your brakes gently, then shift to a lower gear to slow down. Then aim for objects that give. Pumping your brakes could build up enough brake pressure to stop the vehicle. If that does not work, the parking brake should be used while holding the brake release, so the motorist can let up if the rear wheels lock and the vehicle begins to skid.

Drive on the highest point or "crown" of the road, slow down, and stay away from the outer lanes.

You should dry the brakes by pumping the brakes gently.
32
How many seconds should you follow behind another vehicle in good conditions?
3 plus.
33
What should you do if your gas pedal sticks?
Shift to a lower gear (NEUTRAL) and apply the brakes. If the brakes do not work, pull the emergency brake. Keep your eyes on the road. Steer the vehicle to a safe area off the roadway. turn the engine off and call for help.
34
What do you need to remember when driving at night?
Do not overdrive your headlights. Increase your distance/distance traveled before hitting the brake, reduce speed, reaction, and the braking distance. A motorist should rest every two hours and/or share the driving with another licensed motorist.
35
How can you avoid highway hypnosis?
Don't look at one object for more than a few seconds at a time, use the high beam.
