Motors And Their Efficiency From Victorian Transport Board Hearings
Evidence from Melbourne week long proceedings before the Victorian Transport Board examined brake systems on two wheel versus four wheel vehicles. Witnesses argued well maintained two wheel brake machines can outperform inferior four wheel setups, but with equal upkeep four wheel brakes offer better stability and control. The board noted braking distance varies with tyre tread condition and inflation, and that road surface quality also affects performance.
Motorists Face Brake Fines Over Faulty Units
In Monmouthshire a driver was fined for using a car with ineffective brakes after a sudden stop to avoid hitting a girl, amid ongoing road surface improvements. Nine cases of spring trouble were reported, including broken brakes and side-tracks near Jacknow on the North West Highway between Bathurst and GWNge, with reconstruction work noted.
