I do a lot of driving on mountain grades. Conditions are a lot different from the typical driving on the East Coast.

Parking brakes and gearing down don't often do much on long steep downgrades. As I have said twice in my previous emails on this subject, I haven't had to use it but I also haven't had to use my life insurance policy either. :)

In case of a brake failure I would use the parking brake and gears to slow down and get stopped. I also notice since I travel around 3 to 5 mph below the speed limit I never have anyone in front of me. I also test the brakes before I have to make a turn off. As I get older, I get more careful. I also check all fluid levels before going on a trip. Most braking systems will give a little warning of some kind before going out if you recognize it.
