A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully self-locking. Air brake systems (on semis, for instance) hold the brakes open only when air is supplied. If you blow the air the brakes lock under spring pressure.

Is a parking brake system required if your service brakes are fully functional?
Yes, a parking brake system is required regardless of the functionality of the service brakes. The parking brake acts as an additional safety measure to secure the vehicle and prevent unintended movement when it is parked. It is a separate system from the service brakes and must be functional and in good working condition.
Parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional is it true or false?
False
A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional true or false?
It depends on what your needs are. If you are driving you don't need parking brakes, when you are parked your "park" gear should keep you in place but that's not always the case....
Is A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional?
The law in the UK states that there should be two independent braking systems actually it is not a parking brake but an emergency brake
What is the parking brake system?
It is a mechanical means of holding the vehicle from moving. The parking brake system is separate from the hydraulic service brakes.
A parking brake system A is not required if your service brakes are fully functional B must be able to hold your car on a hill or incline C Both A and B?
A is false. You have to have a parking brake. B is true, the parking brake has to be able to hold the vehicle on an incline. C can't be, as you have to have a parking brake.
If the machine air system on a dump truck does not build up to the required pressure what effect does this have on the braking system?
The brakes will remain on, air pressure is required to release the brakes
A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional?
In the UK the parking brake is called the handbrake, a motor vehicle must, by law, have at least two independent ways of applying the brakes. This is normally achieved on a car by having the foot brake hydraulically or, rarely, pneumatically operated and the hand brake cable operated.Added: (in the US) you must also have an operational parking (or hand) brake.In Canada, at least, (and I strongly suspect in USA and Australia) that is wrong. You DO require a parking brake as an emergency standby. The point is your regular brakes depend on hydraulic fluid and rubber seals, while the parking or emergency brake depends on cables. -A totally separate system.You also need the parking brake when parking the vehicle on an incline. The transmission park pawl may break causing the vehicle to roll off if you have no parking brake.
What Are spring brakes on a tractor trailer rig?
They're not just on tractor-trailers - you'll find them on most air brake equipped vehicles. Spring brakes can be described as parking brakes. That's the simple answer. They are brakes which are held down by a spring. When air pressure is introduced into the system, via the service air system, the air pushes against those brakes, forcing the spring to compress, and releasing the brakes. The air pressure must remain constant in order for the spring brakes to remain released.
How parking brake mechanism?
The most common parking brake pulls a cable that mechanically activates the rear brakes. The cars hydraulic system is not involved with this.
Are service brake lines and control brake lines the same thing on an air brake system?
The service brake is the one which applies the brakes - the emergency brake system is the system which releases the spring brakes.
