Even if you can't brake, you'll still be losing momentum at a decent speed. Just maintain control and coast to a stop. Turning off the car is not preferred and is certainly the last thing you should do if all else fails, but it is still an option.

I'm not stupid, I meant the latter, losing the pressure. You can still break, but it becomes hard, and I'm willing to bet a person who is panicking is likely to think their breaks have failed in that situation.

On new cars yes. I noticed it more on my old car, which did not have power assist or ABS.
