I love these guys saying there is never a reason to rearend someone. Lets just think about this for a second My truck uses 10 sets of breaks and still takes a good distance to stop so following at a safe distace is a must as pointed out but what happens when you have safe distance that you stop at 5 billion other times but a piece of the decaying rubber hose on the inside from all them wonderful months of putting alcohol or air deicer comes dislodged and gets stuck in the balance supply valve now your down to 6 breaks guess what it just add another 25+ ft to your stopping distance woops. This can happen at anytime. I had a bad hose looked good outside but went bad from the inside luck I noticed the difference earlier and increased my window. But if it happened for the first time when it was needed who knows. Not that I need to but remind them people do some dumb things.
Had one dumb lady I FL come up my right just before a light slide over in front front of me. Light turned yellow (she was at that point only about 3 car lengths from the intersection) slamed her breaks and skidded 5ft in to the intersection luck I had seen her coming up the right fast and knew she was going to jump over and I had an out on my left I breaked fishtailed the trailer as I took the left let off and was though the light before it changed red no way could I have stopped that dump truck with a backhoe on the trailer.gpsman Thanks this. -
suck up. LOL -
Makes since what you're saying but in this case very unlikely anything went wrong with trk or trl,just the driver.

Yes it seems this way but I for one will wait to though him to the wolves. And some say there is no reason ever just pointing out there is sometimes legit reasons it happened. But agree most are lack of paying attention or not being alert. Sometimes even the most alert can get got by others being plain and simply stupid. Stupid mistakes cost lives in this field.
