Trucks without brakes | Runaway truck ramp

dapat ang dpwh mag provide sa hiway ng runaway truck ramp, lalo na sa road na pababa galing mountain. kelan kaya magkakaroon dito sa Pilipinas 😊.

How often do trucks Runaway that they need to build these??? Wouldn't it be a more practical solution to put a engine cut off switch in the cabin???

Can someone explain to me, all this could ve been avoided if they just drove in second gear or something? Or not?

these seem very impractical. You gonna place these every X kilometers?

Wait, why is this a thing that needs to exist? Why are truck brakes failing so often that this is worth building??

I think it’s time we look into why brakes are failing so much. Let’s start requiring a back up system of brakes just in case.

If truck breaks are failing th3n just stop pushing gas pedal and truck will eventually stop lol Unless you're on neverending downhill highway or something lol I never seen emergency truck runaway

I never knew these existed until i started studying for a CDL

that feeling when you wanna go to a toilet but it's already occupied 😬

How about make a reliable brake system?!

why is every single person in this video brown

Like running to the toilet and finding someone on it.

They could’ve just braked….

Can someone explain the process behind the decision of those things being build. I'm just wondering if those things are only installed if there were enough cases of non-functional breaks, or if they are f.e. build on new roads with the potential of massive damage due to malfunction breaks.

ну ладно тормоза отказали. но двигателем то можно тормозить?

Don't need in Germoney❤

That crane makes it even more epic of a construction.

Se não me engano essa é uma rodovia do Paraná, aqui no Brasil

В США действительно так много тупых водителей, которые не умееют тормозить двигателем или ретардером?

Literally unbelievable...... A "catch lane" in a specific place for lorrys with no brakes ? Bizarre !

I don't understand why they don't just disengage the engine? When you press the clutch or in an automatic transmission, the "neutral" gear means that the crankshaft movement is not transferred to the drive and the truck stops itself (friction stops it), even though the engine can run at maximum speed.
So why this solution? Is it neither safer nor easier?

Cool vid.
I feel though this could be improved by putting in a ramp though;
If one is going to use the lane might as well have some fun too.

Brazilian roads, ramps are filled with expansive clay.

Fortunately, this saves the lives of those who carry progress from one side to the other.

Pretty cool that we have these!

Having a gantry there is pretty awesome. Very Well thought out.

Yo mamaha

Volkswagen real quiet since this dropped

This 52 second video showed the saving of countless lives! Wow

Where is this ramp?

🎶 I'm unstoppable, I'm a truck with no brakes 🎶

😱😱👏👏👏💐💐💐🏆

how two trucks lose brakes at the same time

That first truck driver who hops out of his truck is awfully calm about the 18 wheeler barreling toward him. Just hopes the guardrail and SITS ON IT. Jesus christ...jump
OVER it and get the hell away from it in case the truck coming at you veers to the left a bit and scrapes it.

why does it happen so often?

This can clearly be on even smaller scale. Actually not bad idea to put these at highway exits, especially if it's end of highway.

I've seen these often when I was a kid and we went on holiday in Austria. I always wondered what it would look like if a truck used them.

When you're in the mountains of West Virginia, you'll see a lot of these.

Wait, so, is that why they’re there for? 😮

It's kind of crazy that brake failures are so common that they build these large infrastructures but it's not addressing the underlying issue in any way. Better brakes, flater slopes or different routes is the real solution.

They used to fine drivers for using the runaway ramp regardless of the reason, until they found that some drivers would never use them because of that and would rather crash so they have a chance at blaming faulty equipment. They changed that rule after a driver crashed into a police station, i think it was in Idaho

How come this doesnt happen to European trucks?

Exactly like Kenyan roads. .😶

Runaway truck ramps - cheaper than implementing proper safety regulations for your trucks

Why is braking so unreliable that we need dedicated runoffs constructed?

Mexico

В нашем мyx0cpaнске дороги и не такие, любой вездеход и внедорожник застрянет глубоко и навеки

내리막길이 어떠길래 ㄷㄷ

Based!

Finally, the Brazilian government did something worthwhile.
