This has EVERYTHING in it. A certain winner if arguing with experts and bush-lawyers. It says they have no legal effect but every state has laws stating "In accordance with Australian Light Vehicle Standards" giving them defacto state law authority.

Thanks Lange,
For me it opened on Page 91, dealing with brakes. Instantly becomes obsolete. In describing parking brakes, it specifically rules out those operated by electricity. There goes most modern cars.
Typical of a still broken system.

Only thing I can see about electric brakes says the park brake can not be held on by electric, air or vacuum. Normal service brakes are open to any form of operation so long as they have 2 separate circuits?
I don't know but are modern cars with electric park brakes like Maxxis and the electricity holds them off and loss of power allows the compulsory mechanical action to operate? Can you roll one of these cars with the battery removed?
Just found there are several makes that can not be rolled if power is lost. These vehicles are the ones that have automatic roll-back prevention on hill starts. Main brakes operate park brake and any movement of the throttle releases it.

Knew a bloke many moons back who fitted a side car onto some old Russian motor bike. One thing he had to fit was a parking brake. He fashioned some #8 fencing wire into a loop and slipped it over the front hand brake lever. This passed inspection as it was totally mechanical

The old Honda CT110 Postie Bikes had a hand brake that flipped over to hold the handbrake lever on.
