Brake Safety Week 2007Tuesday, August 28, 2007 We all know that when we put our foot down on a vehicle's brake, it slows it down to a stop. Brakes are arguably the most critical operating system in vehicle safety, and yet are all too often taken for granted until something bad happens. Beginning August 26 and continuing through September 1, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will carry out a comprehensive program to promote commercial vehicle brake safety across North America. Throughout Brake Safety Week, CVSA-certified inspectors and industry participants will conduct a variety of enforcement and educational activities emphasizing the importance of proper commercial vehicle and automobile brake inspection, maintenance and operation. CVSA initiated Brake Safety Week in 2005 as part of its Operation Air Brake Campaign. |
