English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

Primary braking system used for slowing down or stopping a vehicle during normal driving.

OBS

Because drivers must be able to modulate braking force and operate the brakes from the driver's seat without removing their hands from the steering wheel, the primary braking system is always foot-operated.

Domaine(s)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)

Système de freinage permettant au conducteur de diminuer ou d'annuler la vitesse d'un véhicule routier pendant sa conduite normale.

Son action doit être modérable et le conducteur doit pouvoir obtenir ce freinage de sa place de conduite, sans lever les mains de l'organe de direction; c'est pourquoi cette commande se fait toujours au pied.
