Dutch term or phrase: poetsrem
Een dergelijke mechanische remming (poetsrem) mag niet tot onveilig of afwijkend gedrag van het voertuig naar passagiers of bestuurder leiden.

Can't find anything on this word, so have tentatively translated it literally as "polishing brake". Can you improve on this?
