After using the parking brake to slow down during brake failure, how can you bring your vehicle to a stop?

Turn off the engine while driving
Shift to a lower gear and move to a safe place off the roadway
Utilize the emergency brake and maintain speed
Flash headlights to signal other drivers

The correct answer is: Shift to a lower gear and move to a safe place off the roadway

When experiencing brake failure after using the parking brake to slow down, shifting to a lower gear and moving to a safe place off the roadway is the best course of action to bring your vehicle to a stop. Shifting to a lower gear can help slow down the vehicle using engine braking, while moving to a safe place off the roadway reduces the risk of causing an accident or endangering other road users. Turning off the engine while driving is not recommended as it will cause the steering to lock, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. Using the emergency brake to maintain speed is not a safe option as it could lead to loss of control. Flashing headlights to signal other drivers is important in emergencies but will not assist in bringing the vehicle to a stop.
