Let’s face it our vehicle is pretty valuable to us but our cargo is much more precious. So keeping our cargo and vehicle protected is significant to us all.
While we are on the highway traveling at 65 MPh and traffic slows down immensely other than easing off the gas the only thing that we can rely on is our brakes to slow us down. But what happens if they didn’t work? What happens if at the moment we need them to work in a split second, it takes three seconds? Unfortunately this is when a collision is inevitable.
Taking preventative measures is one good step in the right direction! Per Texas state law if a car is going 25 MPh it should be able to come to a complete stop within 25 ft. Your vehicle’s brakes are tested during an annual state inspection to make sure they meet minimum requirements. They can either be tested on a “road test” which is a marked off section where the above requirements have to be met or they can be tested on an actual brake tester. This is a piece of equipment that is actually driven onto and braked on, the sensors underneath test if your car’s brakes are in accordance to state law.
