I : Motor Vehicle Auto Inspection Law (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 SPECIAL 'COFFEE i The "Best i'ood ibr Man'sjfeggjriena (%stelMT)oaTood has FOUR BIG appeals ?

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." This article concludes the se ries of 16 articles on the me chanical inspection require k " ?'

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.
