The amusement park was situated in the suburbs and was accessible through a narrow winding road. Since it was already late at night, a person's field of vision would be somewhat obstructed even with the presence of street lights, so Timothy stepped on the brakes gently to reduce his speed.
However, his speed did not decrease even after he stepped on the brakes.
He stepped on the brakes again but there was still no response.

He pressed the electronic handbrake tightly once more and still there was no response!
To make things worse, the car was speeding even more even though he did not step on the gas pedal, suggesting that there was something wrong with the other components instead of just the brakes!
