Question

Your truck or bus has a dual air brake system. If a low air pressure warning comes on for only one system, what should you do?

A) reduce your speed and drive to the nearest garage for repairs
B) continue at normal speed and find a garbage before the brakes lock
C) reduce your speed and test the remaining system while under way
D) stop. safely park, and continue only after the system is fixed

Answer 1

If the low air pressure warning comes on for only one system in your dual air brake system, the correct action is to reduce your speed and test the remaining system while under way.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the low air pressure warning comes on for only one system in your dual air brake system (on your truck or bus), the correct action to take is to reduce your speed and test the remaining system while under way (Option C).

This is because a dual air brake system is designed so that each system operates independently. If one system fails or has low air pressure, the other system should still be functional. By reducing your speed and testing the remaining system while under way, you can determine if the other system is working properly.

Option A (reducing speed and driving to the nearest garage for repairs) may not be feasible if the nearest garage is far away, and it's important to ensure the remaining system is working before continuing.
