When you brake hard on a dry, level road, your car swerves to one side. According to the Vermont manual, what is the most likely cause?
Correct answer: The brakes do not work together, so the brake on one wheel grabs before the other.
Why
Uneven brakes can pull the car into another lane or off the road in an emergency stop. You can check your brakes on a road with no other traffic: at slow speed, hold the steering wheel lightly and brake, and see if the car swerves. Vermont law requires brakes to be kept in good working order and adjusted to act as evenly as practicable on both sides. Have the brakes checked at regular intervals.
