5.2 Driving speed
5.3 Brakes
Before each journey Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
z Do the brakes function?
z Do the brakes react evenly?
z Does the vehicle remain in the lane when braking?
X The vehicle is equipped with a powerful engine. This means there are
sufficient reserves in difficult traffic situations. This high power enables
a high maximum speed and requires above-average driving ability.
X The vehicle provides a large contact surface for wind. A sudden cross-
wind can be especially dangerous.
X Uneven or one-sided loading affects road performance.
X Driving on unknown streets, you may encounter hazardous road condi-
tions and unexpected driving situations. Therefore, in the interest of
safety, make sure your driving speed is appropriate to any given driving
situation and environment.
X Adhere to the national legal speed limits.
X Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an
authorised specialist workshop.
Z Avoid block brakings. Block braking gives the tyres "brake plates" of var-
ying strength. This reduces driving comfort. It might even make the tyres
unserviceable.
