    No one got out to help because society has been trained the last 14 months to stay away from others or you will get a plague.

    The Dodge Dakota in the left lane was like “fuzz is coming l’m outta here!”

    If he was out of air the brake light pressure switch will not activate and no brake lights.

    From personal experience I can say when the yellow button pops out on a down hill run loaded it will slow you down slightly for about 10 seconds and then the brakes glaze and go up in a puff of smoke and your off again gaining speed like they never came on in the first place.

    Lol
    Kind of hard to video when cell phones weren’t invented yet.
    It happened in 1983 in in a w900 with a 435 Detroit and a full load of bottled milk on.
    On a page somewhere on here is a full description of what happened and I believe a picture of the truck.
    I’ll have to see if I can find it.
     
    NavigatorWife and Bud A. Thank this.
