348 .         Recovery of air pressure for brakes in B‑doubles and road trains

                The air pressure in each air brake reservoir in a B‑double or road train must recover to at least 420 kPa within one minute after 3 full brake applications have been made within a 10 second period if, before the 3 brake applications have been made —

            (a)         the engine is running at maximum speed; and

            (b)         the governor cut‑in pressure is no higher than —

                  (i)         the pressure specified by the vehicle’s manufacturer; or

                  (ii)         if there is no manufacturer’s specification — 550 kPa;

                and

            (c)         the air pressure in the storage tanks of the vehicle is not under —

                  (i)         the average of the maximum and minimum pressures in the operating pressure range specified by the vehicle’s manufacturer; or
