What is the requirement for the braking system of vehicles equipped with brakes?

The requirement for the braking system of vehicles equipped with brakes is that they must be operated by one control device. This specification ensures that the driver can apply the brakes effectively and efficiently from a single point of control, which is crucial for maintaining safety control when operating the vehicle. A single control device simplifies the braking process, allowing for quicker reaction times in emergency situations.

Using only one control device for braking enables the driver to focus more on steering and looking out for obstacles while maintaining the ability to stop the vehicle when necessary. Consequently, it is common across most vehicles, including commercial vehicles, to have this design for optimal safety and usability.
