Anything with dual-circuit is 16%.

16% is awful. I've experienced one that only just does that. I'd
truly hate to have brake failure in such a car.

But that's the point. With dual circuit brakes the handbrake is no
longer an emergency one.

obviously. And dual circuit footbrakes can still fail, I already
explained one of the reasons. Keep up.

If any part of the braking system is likely to be below par, it's the
handbrake. Good luck relying on that.
