About to go solo ,how do I check the brake lights?

I didn't have to post how to check your brake lights because that horse has already been beaten to death. Several others have offered useful techniques. Believe me I know how to check them, in fact that is one of the many things I teach to new drivers like yourself while I train them.

I could have have made a jab at your question or your trainers incompetence but chose not to. My point was to put all the super truckers in check so this thread can be useful and not tear you down.

 

duh hang a bag with something in it from the darn thing, If other people have to do the thinking for new drivers how is that going tio work when they are alone? one has to wonder.

 

One has to wonder just how much effort some students are putting into learning, every brake manual I have ever seen tells one how to do the brake light check.

 

What ? There was horse named How to chexk your brake lights .. Why ?

 

For people with English as a 5th or 6th language

 

Volvos have a nice light check mode...

 

Even if your truck has an electronic self checking process for your brake light or all lights. You still should get out and manually check your lights. How do you know the self check is working properly.

 

get a bungee and clip one end around your johnson bar and the other to the bottom of the dash somewhere.

get out and look.

 

Leave it to a woman to bring up something that happened awhile ago.

 

He he... a Johnson bar is a pry bar you use to raise something heavy...
I think you mean trolley brake...
