A service brake is the primary, foot-operated braking system in a vehicle, used for routine slowing and stopping by applying force to all wheels, unlike the parking or emergency brake. It converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat through friction, managed by either hydraulic fluid (in cars) or compressed air (in heavy trucks), and is crucial for everyday driving safety
