Vehicle Safety Systems

Safety systems are vital components of all vehicles driven on the public highway within the modern road transport industry. Here we discuss a few of these systems, starting with braking. This has evolved over many years and now is both very efficient and reliable. The braking system has a number of functions incorporating fail-safe systems. Every professional driver should understand the basics of how the braking system works and must be able to check the system is safe and ready to use before starting to drive the vehicle.
