I’m mostly thinking about a scenario where you are going down a highway (say, at 120kmh for the sake of the example) and suddenly your brakes fail
could shifting to Reverse function as a brake in that situation?
edit: thank you all for the answers, I want to note that I myself don’t drive and did not consider doing this, I was just wondering if this was possible
have a lovely day o/

Assuming the handbrake doesn’t work. No. You’ll grind your reverse gear to scrap. Best advice is in a manual, change down to sequentially lower gears and let the car come to a stop. Throwing the car sideways might work but more than likely you’ll end up rolling the car as the road isn’t wide enough to really get the maneuver to work.
