"Illinois General Assembly
Public Act 093-0344
"(b) Performance ability of brakes.
1. The service brakes upon any motor vehicle or
combination of vehicles operating on a level surface
shall be adequate to stop such vehicle or vehicles when
traveling 20 miles per hour within a distance of 30 feet
when upon dry asphalt or concrete pavement surface free
from loose material."
Can you stop your combination rig within 30 feet from 20 MPH as described in the above Illinois law?
If you can't, sorry, no, you are not "legal"!
If you can, then yes, you are legal!
Yes, but ide say all of us are traveling at 60-70mph when on the highway. So that 20mph law goes out the wimdow! At 20mph stopping a load will not over heat the brakes!
