Applying the clutch while driving down a long steep slope can lead to a loss of control and increased reliance on brakes, which may overheat and fail. By keeping the car in gear, engine braking helps control speed and maintain traction. This technique reduces wear on the brakes and enhances safety, allowing for better handling of the vehicle on steep descents.

What should you do if your brakes fail while driving downhill?

remain calm and continue driving in the same lane. Begin to apply the manual emergency brake with your hand, lightly at first to determine the strength. You dont want to lock up the brakes, so apply the emergency brakes in spurts and make your way to the side of the road.


How does a clutch break work?

If a truck has a clutch brake it would only be used when coming to a complete stop. By pushing the clutch peddle completely to the floor you would apply the clutch brake. This stops the clutch disc from spinning making it easier to shift into 1st or reverse gear. Normal shifting while driving you would not need to or want to push the clutch peddle to the floor to activate the clutch brake.
