Since we have little cars with big brakes has anyone encountered trouble complying? Except for those who couldn't be bothered to adjust the handbrake "correctly"?

NCOP QUOTE "A simplified brake test procedure has been developed for demonstrating compliance with the
brake performance requirements of ADR 31/01 to enable the certification of the brake system
and brake modifications under Code LG1."

Big car brakes are a bonus "For tests 2, 4 and 5 ICVs may be tested at 100 km/hr if the mass of the vehicle to be
tested is less than the mass of the vehicle from which its brake system was sourced
(e.g. Clubman type vehicles)."

Table LG5 Test Sequence and Conditions for ADR 31/01 Abridged Brake Test has the procedures, they might take a while but really, who wants substandard brakes? I just fitted up a new XY PBR booster as it is a bit punchier than the Girly one it had (and on it they modified it wrong so the reaction valve wouldn't operate). With Jag brakes, XY booster and master I feel confident.
In this day and age testing time is money tho, so I can appreciate the statement from the engineer "hence the cost will be higher as well"
