(2) 就第(1)款而言，多次拉力操作工具不予計算在內，但如該操作工 具在首次運用時乃操作一個液壓、電力或氣壓設備，而該設備會引致制動 器在運用時產生的總制動效能，不低於第19(1)(b)條就由另一個獨立操作 工具運用的制動器而規定的總制動效能，則屬例外。
" (2) For the purpose of paragraph (1), no account shall be taken of a multi-pull means of operation, unless that means, at the first application, operates an hydraulic, electric or pneumatic device which causes brakes to be applied sufficient to have a total braking efficiency of not less than the total braking efficiency required by regulation 19(1)(b) in relation to brakes as applied by a second independent means of operation."
(3) 除第(8)款另有規定外，每部汽車的所有制動系統，即使有任何通 過其傳送或用以傳送運用該制動器所必需的力量的部分(固定組件或制動 蹄支承銷除外)發生故障，必須在設計及構造上，使駕駛人仍能運用制動 器，在最惡劣的情況下於合理的距離內將該車輛停下。
" (3) Subject to paragraph (8), all braking systems of every motor vehicle shall be so designed and constructed that notwithstanding the failure of any part (other than a fixed member or a brake shoe anchor pin) through or by means of which the force necessary to apply the brakes is transmitted there shall still be available for application by the driver brakes sufficient under the most adverse conditions to bring the vehicle to rest within a reasonable distance."
(4) 除第(9)款另有規定外，本條規定的操作工具，其中須至少有一個 能使制動器直接地運用於該車輛的所有車輪上，而其他的操作工具，則須 能使制動器直接地而並非通過傳送裝置而運用於下列車輪─
" (4) Subject to paragraph (9), one at least of the means of operation required by this regulation shall be capable of causing brakes to be applied directly to all the wheels of the vehicle and the other means of operation shall be capable of causing brakes to be applied directly, and not through the transmission, to-"
(b) 如車輛的車輪超過3個，則至少運用於其中半數車輪，

" (1) Subject to paragraph (2), every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a braking system, which may be one of the braking systems prescribed in regulation 16, so designed and constructed that-"
(a) 其操作工具(無論是否多次拉力操作工具)均是獨立於任何制動系 統的操作工具，而根據第19(1)(a)條的規定，該等制動系統的總制動效能 不得少於百分之五十；
" (a) its means of operation, whether being a multi-pull means of operation or not, is independent of the means of operation of any braking system required by regulation 19(1)(a) to have a total braking efficiency of not less than 50 per cent;"
