(This is one o I a scries of
arlii .es designed to acquaint
the motoring public with
the requirements of the
Motor Vehicle Inspection
progvam).
RALEIGH ? Have you ever
frantically jammed on the
brakes of your ear or truck and
found that they would not hold,
or that they spun the vehicle
around like a top?
If you have, then you know
that poor brakes can cause ac
cidents. The last article dealt
with requirements for braking
effort, and this* week's article
deals with an equally important
braking factor? brake equaliza
tion.
When your car goes for its
inspection this year, it must be
able to meet certain require
ments as far as break equaliza
tion is concerned.
The Motor Vehicle Mechanical
Inspection Requirements man
ual states that "the brake
equalization on all motor ve
hicles shall correspond to the
following: ,
"Front wheel braking effort
shall total not less than 50 per
cent of the rear wheel braking
effort or vice versa. The brak
ing effort of one front wheel
shall be not less than 64 per
cent of the other front wheel.
The braking effort of one rear
wheel shall be not less than 64
per cent of the other rear wheel,
"All motor vehicles equipped
with 2-wheel brakes shall cor
respond to the following:
"The braking effort of one
rear wheel shall be not less
I than 64 per cent of the other
rear wheel."
, The manual also specifies that
the "complete braking system
shall be in good working order
and shall afford a pedal reserve
upon full application of not less

than one-third of the designed
pedal travel."
It is equally important that
the emergency or hand brake be
in good condition. The require
ments state that:
"All motor vehicles shall be
equipped with a hand' brake in
good working order, having a
lever reserve upon full applica
tion of at least one-fourth of
the total designed travel dis
tance. The rachet, or holding
device, shall be in good work
ing order."

condition, It will sail eaally
through the Inspection lane and
be given an approved sticker In
short order. The approved stick
er Is in the shape of the Stat 1
of North Carolina, and is blur
in color. However, if the vehicle
falls short on some items, it
may be disapproved until th
owner can have the defects
corrected. And occasionally r.
vehicle will be in such hazard
ous condition that it is down
fright dangerous to be on the
highways In such instance:
the car will be condemned, am
the owner will not be allowed
to drive it until he makes ex
tensive repairs to bring it up
to standard.
The Motor Vehicle department
emphasizes that the inspection
program is not . designed to
bring any hardships on car
owners, but was established
merely to aid in the safety
campaign to cut down on need- ,
less highway deaths and fatal- \
itles. They emphasize also that
any program designed to save
human lives merits the full sup
port and cooperation of every
citizen. '
About 35 per cent of the
workers in North Carolina are
engaged in agriculture. 30 per
cent in manufacturing, 30 per
cent in selling, and 5 per cent
in tho professions, according to
the Slate Education commission.
