The correct answer is False

Explanation:

While driving and due to different causes it is possible your brakes fail, in this case, there are different actions you can try to stop the vehicle or reduce its speed and avoid a possible action this include downshift to a lower year, using the parking brake, go to one side of the road and try to pump the brakes by gently pressing the pedal. However, trying to slam on the breaks as hard as possible is not one of the actions you can try because by doing this, you will not stop the car and the brakes will not begin working again, also, you should always be calm in this situation and by doing this you can lose control of the car. Therefore, it is false that if your brakes fail, you should slam on them as hard as possible.
