Car Owners Urged To Check Brakes In California
Gordon H. Garland director of Motor Vehicles urged car owners to inspect brakes with emphasis on safety. The call aligns with Ickes plan for small fuel and tire ration changes and statewide Highway Patrol findings that about 12 percent of 22 000 vehicles in the Brake Emphasis Program fail to meet code standards. Garland warned many cars are eight and a half years old, urging reduced speed and caution to offset worn equipment risks.
