Maybe if your testing a vehicle on a race track your insurance and liability is null and void. The nsw rta is very cunning.
I have seen 100 kph stop tests required with 1/2 brake system disabled then the other half disabled...all lock up wheel braking. then a four wheel lock up test. Imagine the work to do this...bleed brakes, disconnect lines and plug outlets. several times. each time putting flat spots on tyres. It was required for my vehicle but my engineer submitted a 10 page (two sided) report on the brakes alone and the rta accepted that. (good bet they never even read it) By the way it was 1200 bucks a day to hire oran park raceway main straight...It wasn't even possible to have a few laps !
