Should not admit this but nobody reads it anyway,I used to take units for test and used to watch the brake meter and if it was failing percentage wise I loaded the axle more with the airbag control,backfired when they installed a new meter and you could see the weight increase.

ATL brake testers will and do fail brakes if the wrong weight is used compared with VSI and axle weights from tester and also kerbweight.

As for testing,yes people should complain there and then but lack of knowledge and the belief that the person testing actually knows the what,why ,and wherefore of what he is actually doing and placing trust in the tester.

VOSA in there wisdom (?) have stopped supplying hardback manuals and everything is available on the net to all and sundry,so with regard to previous posts regarding braided hose,s being a fail or an advisory item its there in black and white so try and find it, Guaranteed you will not as it is not there in any shape or form to be interpreted by all and sundry.

The old cherry,brake pipes. RFR is excessive corrosion not really rusty

Rust is the cause of corrosion,dictionary definitions.

Bob,no re-write will happen as its law but it should more user friendly.
