• A truck trailer interconnecting flexible hose and coupling is not properly mated or secured;

• For trailers with a GTM in excess of 2 tonnes the trailer brakes are not capable of being applied and released from the normal driving position;

• Any trailer having brakes which are air or vacuum assisted is not fitted with a reservoir that is protected by a check valve;

• Any trailer having brakes which are air or vacuum assisted is not built to provide a visible or audible warning to the driver of the towing vehicle, while the driver is in a normal driving position, of a lack of air or vacuum.
