I am still confused, I clearly remember learning in drivers ed, in the 2 week driving class fed ex put me through, the three week driving class that Snap on required, and reading in the handbook for my CDL that you should pump your brakes if you lose braking.
Here is a link that also says the same thing.
Handling Brake Failure | How To Handle Brake Failure - https://www.idrivesafely.com/driving-resources/how-to/brake-failure/
And another
Brake Failure - DriversEd.com - https://driversed.com/driving-information/defensive-driving/brake-failure.aspx
I certainly believe what you guys are saying but I just want to be sure so others are not misinformed.
You're talking about brake failure vs engine not running and therefore no vacuum assistance to an otherwise working brake system.
Two completely different scenarios.
