The significant role of brake defects, particularly lack of proper brake adjustment, in crashes is documented and shown to be an important factor in determining the extent to which the overall braking performance of the vehicle population can be improved. Means for realising better safety maintenance of vehicles are discussed, including a range of strategies and technology. Approaches to examining cost-effectiveness are considered, including the effects of emerging developments which have the potential to dramatically improve the cost-effectiveness of new safety inspection systems. There are developing technologies which will open up alternative approach to ensuring adequate brakes on vehicles in service in the future. Ensuring brake maintenance will continue to be an important aspect of road safety for the foreseeable future. There is no point in having the best designed, tested and manufactured braking system in the world if, when it is in the hands of owners, the brakes are neglected to the point of barely functioning. One might argue that greater benefit might accrue to the community from ensuring that the brakes already out there continue to work.
