On a dry, flat paved road, a bicycle's brakes must be able to bring it to a stop within 5 meters from the point where braking begins, when travelling at 10 km/h.

自転車のブレーキは、乾いた平らな舗装路で時速10キロメートルからブレーキ操作を始めた場所より5メートル以内で止まれる性能が必要である。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

The required stopping distance is 3 meters, not 5. From 10 km/h the bicycle must come to a smooth stop within 3 meters of the point where braking begins.
