In accordance with clause 1.1 "List of malfunctions and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited" the braking distance of the car with a single press on the brake pedal from a speed of 40 km / h should be no more than 12.2 m. The check is carried out on a dry, clean, horizontal section of the road with a concrete or asphalt surface. The brake system of the car must be tight. The brake fluid level in the reservoir should be at "MAX".
1. Accelerate the car up to 40 km/h.
2. Press the brake pedal to the stop, blocking the wheels, and hold it in this position until the car comes to a complete stop.
3. Measure the stopping distance of the car with a tape measure. If the length is more than 12.2 m, the operation of the brake system is not effective enough.
4. To eliminate the influence of side effects, the braking distance is checked by accelerating the car in two opposite directions on the same section of the road.
