BDifficulty 2/5

Which option describes a control used to apply the brake, rather than a wheel-brake type classified by its friction element?

Correct answer

The brake pedal.

The brake pedal is a control. Disc brakes use pads acting on a disc, and drum brakes use shoes acting on the inside surface of a drum. These are not the only ways of classifying braking systems: function and actuation also differ. Do not infer that vehicles have no brake controls.
