There is described a steering brake locking system for a vehicle, preferably an agricultural tractor. The locking system has at least first and second adjacent steering brake pedals, and a locking pin arranged to selectively lock the pedals together. The locking pin and at least a portion of the first and second pedals are formed from a conductive material, such that an electrically conductive path is formed between the first and second pedals through the locking pin when the pin is used to lock the pedals together. Accordingly, the locking status of the pedals can be determined by measuring the electrical conductivity between the first and second pedals.
