Brakes and mot

#1 Post by History »

The regulations are that a handbrake must be at least 16% with dual line and 25% for single line.

The reason is because on a single line the handbrake is also the secondary brake.

On a dual line system the other line is the secondary brake. The hand brake is then called a parking brake.

Regards
Bob.
