Just yesterday I read a story about a truck driver on the autobahn who was confronted with a car pulling up just in front of him, and then hitting the brakes. The truck reacted with an emergency braking, causing another truck behind him to crash into his back. The second truck was at fault, not keeping enough distance. -
this system is obligatory in europe since 1.10.2015. starting from 7.5t, except on 4 and 5 axle trucks, work trucks like construction trucks, timber trucks etc.
some snowplow trucks have it here and they have problem that every time you start truck you have to manually go in menu and switch it off otherwise you wont be able to start drive.
system save lives, please note that traffic is different here . most of europe is crowded with traffic and you are driving and out of nowhere you have panic braking and this can happens like 10 times per day if you are driving 9h. in west europe you should have this system in car, it saved my life once
i was on work for 14h,went home take a shower and went to sleep, was sleeping 3hours, woke up just after midnight sit with friend to germany drive 11h to dortmund, being there for 1.5h, drive 3h to mannheim, being there for 1hour.drvive 2hour stop in outlet city under stuttgart being there about 1.5h. another hour driving to ulm, to hotel, went on dinner, went to sleep, could not sleep good since it was too hot in hotel as usually despite outside was minus 6-7C temp and had window opened slept like 3-4h, woke up in 7am had breakfast, went to factory had training whole day, visited something in city, home of kaessbohrer, visited deutz air cooled cathedral and some other things, went on dinner with some important bussiness guys being there till about 1am, could not sleep good it was too hot again, woke up in 7.30, just 1h after we started, we were driving like 100-110mph and at once car started to brake at full power and stop safely. laptops,jackets and backpack were flying as they were behind rear seats. my friend was driving i was awake but did not notice anything until car started to brake. he says he was also in this condition.
my concern goes to load securing such system dont recognize if you secured load as germany require of pro-formMACK E-6 Thanks this. -
I'm sure it works wonders during snow storms too. That's the part that scares me.
