He had a clear view of slowing the traffic ahead and should've started slowing down well before the SUV cut in front of him.
people jumping in front of trucks accentuates the problem greatly, the silver car that jumped in barely pulled up in time also, good save by the truck driver not to have cleaned him up
I agree, he broke way too late. But it is a hard one to call.
I don't understand the language, but it looked like he was too busy with the conversation to pay attention.
I'm guessing it must have brakes on every axle to be able to pull that off?!
To me this shows two things. 1: How people annoyingly and unknowingly will cut in front of you when you try keep a safety distance. It's nice of them to volunteer as shock absorbers in case of a crash however I never ask for it. ...and 2: Traffic situations WILL change in a matter of seconds, you always have to stay alert!
Such hard emergency breaking will make your cargo shift no matter how hard it has been tied down. Nothing you want to do. Dent stuff = customer complaints.
it's a problem for large trucks, the more room they leave themselves, the more people jump in front thinking there's plenty of room still, can't win sometimes
Disagree, the trucker isn't keeping a safe distance, or paying attention, 100% the truckers fault if he had hit.
A safe distance is 4~5 seconds, 3seconds for a car.
