CDifficulty 3/5

After passing through a puddle, your lorry’s brakes may be wet. When it is safe to check, which operation should you verify especially?

Correct answer

that the brakes are working normally.

Check that the brakes respond normally, because moisture can reduce their effectiveness. Subject to conditions and vehicle instructions, apply the pedal lightly and gently at a place and speed where checking is safe, without abrupt braking or endangering others; contact and friction help dry the friction components. If effectiveness does not recover, stop safely and request assistance. Do not enter a flooded section whose depth or safety is unknown.
