If the ONLY problem with BTV is the fact that it is a SINGLE cylinder then that would promote the problem to ALL, EACH AND EVERY NON-btv SINGLE cylinder brake system as well!!! A CONTRADICTION!!
Thank you, that's pretty much the whole point I was trying to make. The biggest flaw with the T/V is that it's a single system prone to the same essential problem of all single braking systems--sudden total failure.
The only contradiction made is to the idea that dual braking systems provide no safety advantage, which I find hard to buy. I also am a little hesitant to believe that someone bribed a politician to get the DOT to require them.
But that's just me--a skeptic. Although I do still remember believing the daily radio broadcasts in the '60s that gave the year-to-date "death toll" on the highways. Since then, I have slowly come to be a believer in relatively small, painless changes in automobiles that exponentially increase safety and survivability whilst driving them. Weird, huh?
