You get a used car ready for your road test. According to the Tennessee driver manual, which statement about its brakes is correct?
Correct answer: A car must have both a foot brake and a separate parking brake.
Why
The foot brake stops the car in normal driving, and the parking brake holds it in place and gives you a second way to brake. The examiner checks the brakes and other safety equipment before the road test, and the car must meet the safety laws. If the brakes make noise, smell strange or the pedal goes to the floor, have a mechanic check them at once.
