Fill in the blank: Drum brakes are effective as ________ brakes.

• parking

• emergency

• racing

• bicycle

What is the main advantage of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)?

• Reduces brake fade

• Helps maintain steering control during hard braking

• Self-cleaning

• Effective as parking brakes

Which type of brake is more prone to brake fade due to less heat dissipation?

• Disc Brakes

• Drum Brakes

• Anti-lock Braking System

• All of the above

What is the primary function of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)?

• Increases stopping distances

• Reduces stopping distances on slippery surfaces

• Provides a backup braking system

• Holds the vehicle stationary when parked

How does an Emergency/Parking Brake work?

• It is a separate system, often mechanically operated (cable-based).

• It is used to increase stopping distances.

• It is commonly found on bicycles.

• It is used to accelerate the vehicle.

Mechanical Fade is primarily associated with which type of brakes?

• Mechanical Fade is primarily associated with disc brakes.

• Mechanical Fade is primarily associated with hydraulic brakes.

• Mechanical Fade is primarily associated with air brakes.

What is one prevention method for Mechanical Fade?

• One prevention method for Mechanical Fade is to regularly maintain and service the mechanical components to ensure they are functioning properly.

• Ignoring regular maintenance schedules.

• Using low-quality replacement parts.

• Overloading the mechanical components beyond their capacity.

What are the symptoms of brake fade caused by high temperatures?

• B) Reduced braking power

• C) Both A and B

• D) None of the above

What is a prevention method for brake fade due to high temperatures?

• Use high-quality brake pads designed for high temperatures

• Avoid aggressive driving habits
