Practice question
In a dual air system, if the secondary (front brake) circuit suffers a total failure, what happens to the vehicle's braking capability?
- Complete braking failure occurs and the steering wheel locks up
- The primary circuit will still stop the rear wheels, but front axle braking is lost and stopping distances will increase
- The trailer emergency brakes apply instantly, locking all trailer wheels
- The compressor governor will fail to cut in, causing pressure to drain from all tanks
Answer: B — The primary circuit will still stop the rear wheels, but front axle braking is lost and stopping distances will increase
