Failure of the spring brakes to hold the vehicle stationary signifies defective service brakes. True or False?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

This is correct because while the failure of spring brakes may affect the vehicle's stopping power, it does not necessarily mean that the entire service brake system is defective. Other factors such as air pressure or parking brake engagement could also contribute to the failure to hold the vehicle stationary. Therefore, this statement is false and should not be relied upon as the only indication of defective service brakes.
