26450
. Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a service brake
system and every motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, shall be
equipped with a parking brake system. Both the service brake and
parking brake shall be separately applied.
If the two systems are connected in any way, they shall be so
constructed that failure of any one part, except failure in the
drums, brakeshoes, or other mechanical parts of the wheel brake
assemblies, shall not leave the motor vehicle without operative
brakes.
