Question 1713 in the bank

How is a driver required to conduct himself when the braking system’s check lamp lights-up on the dashboard?

  1. Drive slowly until the garage – not faster than 10 KPH..
  2. Ignore it and continue driving normally. The light in the check lamp doesn’t serve as proof for any malfunction.
  3. Wait for the vehicle’s periodic maintenance treatment, and only then check this problem.
  4. Correct answer: Stop and discontinue driving.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop and discontinue driving.

A lit brake warning lamp signals a possible fault in the most important safety system, such as low air pressure or low brake fluid. The driver must stop in a safe place and not continue until the problem is checked and repaired. Even driving slowly to a garage is dangerous, because the brakes might fail completely.
