Rita posted a video on TikTok to say that she recently discovered this and was surprised to realize that they had never told her about it. “What I’m going to tell you now is extremely important and could save your life,” she said at the beginning of the clip.
She explained that she recently saw a man telling the story of a friend who had died in an accident because her car’s brakes stopped working on a highway and she was unable to stop the moving vehicle. “She ended up crashing,” said Rita.
In his video, the man explained that many people become desperate in these situations and end up making wrong decisions, which can be fatal. So if this happens to you, you should put your car in neutral and let it slow down on its own. Once it stops, you can pull over and turn off the car.
“I’ve been driving for 30 years. No one has ever told me that. You can save a life,” added Rita, suggesting that Internet users share the tip. His video has already accumulated more than 340 thousand views and more than 800 comments.
“Thank you, Rita, for sharing this important information,” said one TikTok user. “I’ve been driving for 50 years and I didn’t know that,” admitted another. “The same happens if the accelerator pedal gets stuck. Always put the vehicle in neutral”, advised a third internet user.
