Motor vehicle
Every motor vehicle is to be equipped with two independent brakes. Each brake must be able to stop the vehicle within the shortest distance. Above all, braking of a vehicle depends on the friction between tyros and road surface. Brakes operate most efficiently when they are applied so that the wheels do not quite lock but continue to turn without slipping on the road. The force of the slipping friction between tyros and road is much smaller than the brake power. In addition, the wheel loses all of its road-holding ability and tends to skidding. In order to utilize the whole wheel load,i.e. the total ground adhesion of a vehicle for its braking, all vehicles are now equipped with all-wheel brakes.
Almost without any exception, motor-vehicle brakes are «shoe-type brakes». Depending on their actuation, a difference is made between foot brakes and hand brakes. The foot brake is also called service brake, while the hand drake is called parking brake. However, the parking brake should not be considered as an inferior brake
