Never knew trucks didnt have brakes until this thread existed.



Itabashi is still alive. Why dont you try slamming a truck into that?

Because a semi-trailer has the same physics as a car.

Good job.

Still has brakes, better then doing nothing or swerving

Not sure if basic comprehension is your failure, or basic physics.

You've failed to read the part about fish-tailing because of brake bias, weight shift under braking and generally the concept of the couplings which is apparent in the name "semi-trailer".

That, or you're posting without understanding basic physics, in which case I'd rather have you not on the road as opposed to ryoken.

Edit: People like you are the ones who brake mid-corner in a RWD, get lift-off oversteer and ruin perfectly peaceful trees.

If a truck does nothing to reduce its speed then its going to pretty much keep going at the same speed due to the fact that most trucks are fitted with a retarder releasing the gas might reduce a few kms or more but its not going to stop you from landing in someones fender, trucks shouldnt be going more then 90 kmh p/h by law anyway so its not exactly 'High' speed braking. Trailers also do have brakes btw which is what most truck drivers use to prevent fish tailing

You seem to fail to grasp the concept of mutual acceleration.

The truck isn't going to run into anyone else's fender, because the person in front of him is supposed to be traveling at an equal or greater speed.

Two objects traveling in the same direction, in the same line of movement, at the same speed will not meet. This is how it is supposed to be done on a road.
