KEEP BACK AT LEAST TWO TRUCKLENGTHS. TRUCK HAS A NEW EMERGENCY BRAKING
SYSTEM AND CAN STOP MUCH FASTER THAN A CAR.
Now this wasn't a new rig or anything, in fact it looked like it had seen a
few miles. Be that as it may, I call bullshit on this. I don't know much
about physics, but I don't see how you're going to stop 70 feet of say 60
000(pulling these figures out of my arse)lb articulated in less space than
an auto. Has anyone else seen/heard about this?

Well, Chuck, what you don't know could fill a warehouse. I don't mean
to dish too much "aggro" here, but if you understand that you don't
know what you're talking about (as you confess in the second to last
sentence), then you should probably just STFU.
H*ve a n*ce d*y.
