The article presents unconventional tests of the braking performance of a car at a diagnostic station. Based on the conducted tests, the effect of the car's weight on braking efficiency was determined. An analysis of the comparison of the measured braking rate and the actual braking rate for a different load on the vehicle used for the tests was made.
