Q #676 - You're driving down a long, steep hill. You suddenly notice that your brakes aren't working as well as normal. What's the usual cause of this?
This is more likely to happen on vehicles fitted with drum brakes, but it can apply to disc brakes as well. Using a lower gear will assist the braking and help you to keep control of your vehicle.
The brakes overheating
Air in the brake fluid
Oil on the brakes
Badly adjusted brakes
