Section 1.  G.S. 20-124(c), as the same appears in the 1965 Replacement Volume 1C of the General Statutes, is hereby amended by rewriting to read as follows:

"(c)       Every motor vehicle when operated on a highway shall be equipped with brakes adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold such vehicle, and shall have all originally equipped brakes in good working order, including two separate means of applying the brakes. If these two separate means of applying the brakes are connected in any way, they shall be so constructed that failure of any one part of the operating mechanism shall not leave the motor vehicle without brakes."

Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 6th day of July, 1967.
