Question 1385 in the bank

What is the all up weight of a vehicle that is required to have a braking system check at least once every half a year?

  1. Correct answer: 16,000 kg or more.
  2. 8,000 kg or more.
  3. 10,000 kg or more.
  4. 12,000 kg or more.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: 16,000 kg or more.

A commercial vehicle with a permitted total weight of 16,000 kg or more must have its braking system checked at least once every six months. The heavier the vehicle, the faster its brakes wear and the more dangerous a brake failure becomes. That is why heavy vehicles need this frequent check on top of the regular annual inspection. The lower weights offered are not the legal threshold.
