Abstract
A vehicle brake system operable to simultaneously apply an equal amount of braking pressure to a plurality of tires. The system includes a pair of brake guides, a brake bar secured to the brake guides, and a control bar secured to the brake bar. The control bar is operable to move the brake bar back and forth so that a portion of the brake bar selectively abuts the plurality of tires to apply the braking pressure. The system may be retrofitted to existing vehicles or fitted to new vehicles.
