Brake Safety Week This Week
Sunday, September 11th, 2016 -- 9:53 AM
Inspectors with the Wisconsin State Patrol are joining their counterparts across North America as part of Brake Safety Week September 11 through 17.Sponsored by the national Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, the goal is to enhance safety for all travelers by educating truck drivers and commercial motor vehicle companies about the importance of keeping brake systems on commercial vehicles in good shape.
The braking distance required for commercial vehicles is about twice that needed for most autos, and brake system problems are among the most common reasons commercial vehicles are placed out of service until needed repairs are made.
