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/

Shifting into reverse when your brakes fail is not a safe or effective way to stop your vehicle. Doing so can cause the vehicle to jolt or lurch forward, potentially causing a loss of control, as well as damage to the transmission and other parts of the vehicle. If your brakes fail, the safest course of action is to remain calm and try to slow down the vehicle using other means, such as downshifting, using the emergency brake, or using the friction from rubbing against a guardrail or curb. It’s important to have your vehicle inspected regularly and have your brakes checked by a professional to help prevent brake failure.
