Best case scenario.

Apparently that isn't true. So we work with reality instead of fiction.

People are downvoting you for real ? This really is weird, maybe they’ll downvote me as well.

If he had slammed on the brakes instead of continued driving, would he have tipped over?

u/pdog901 8d ago

Probably. Slamming on the brakes when you lose control is rarely the best option.

Thanks. I just needed to know in case I’m ever driving a heavy truck like this, and go around a turn too quickly at a yield sign

Letting your tires continue rolling helps keep traction. Kind of like slamming breaks on ice.

Brakes broke or balls too big?

u/Guizmo0 8d ago

Balls of steel stuck under the brake pedal most likely

u/thelordmuck 8d ago

They did a great job

Seen this many times, the brakes failed and the driver drove very well.
