1. Stay calm and don’t panic, any sudden or drastic movements can make things worse.
2. Turn on your hazard lights.
3. Release the gas and start pumping the brakes firmly.
4. Shift to a lower gear, if possible. Downshifting will help slow down the car and give you more control.
5. If you are driving on a straight, traffic-free road, consider placing the car in neutral.
6. If the car does not slow down, use the emergency brake, but be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could cause the car to skid or spin out of control.
7. Try to guide the car towards the roadside or a safe area, avoiding other vehicles and pedestrians.
8. Once you have slowed the car down, come to a safe stop and turn off the engine.
9. Call the police or a towing service to help you with the situation.
