What to do if tuk tuk brakes fail on a mountain road.

If you experience brake fade while descending a steep mountain road, do not panic. Immediately shift the tuk tuk into a low gear, like second or first gear. This utilizes engine braking, which forces the engine compression to naturally slow the vehicle down significantly. Once the vehicle slows down, carefully pull the handbrake lever located near the steering column to bring it to a complete stop against the hillside.
