Momentum is your worst enemy in this situation. There's nothing worse than having failed brakes and you can't changedown because the load is pushing the truck so the engine is at high rev already. I hope he made it.
@LandOfTheFree1776 as I was watching the video, I realized that he knows that road perfectly, there aren't any sharp turns and downhills... He was just cruising nicely 😂😂😂 that's how we drivers do... When it's a straight downhill will let the truck hit 120kmp so it's easy...
@@bayeni5223 okay but I'm a truck driver myself, that road got no sharp turns and downhills that can terrify a good seasoned driver, that's why he wasn't stressing
I think the driver contributed much in this. I believe his speed downhill might have been the cause,he might have miscalculated. Again, knowing the road too well doesn't not mean you will find the road clear. Look at the way he passed the first truck,if there was on coming traffic it was going to be game over.
He was supposed to stop with the trees when the speed slowed down on hill. I guess he got unconscious because he wouldn't wait for another downhill no even gear change down would have helped . The Camera man is also the most stupid human being that following distance uphill was too close if the truck had stopped it would have reversed with full speed.
