Abstract
A brake system for a vehicle includes a first brake device for braking a first wheel of the vehicle, a second brake device for braking a second wheel of the vehicle, a first brake pedal which is paired with the first wheel, a second brake pedal which is paired with the second wheel, a brake control valve which is designed to act on the first brake device and/or the second brake device, a first control valve for controlling a brake pressure in the first brake device, and a second control valve for controlling a brake pressure in the second brake device. The brake system further has an electromechanical switching module in order to block or at least reduce a braking effect of the second brake device while the first brake pedal is being actuated, and the switching module is designed to block or at least reduce a braking effect of the first brake device while the second brake pedal is being actuated.
