^ as long as there are no fatalities and everyone are fully compensated I dont see a reason for your .

Should be a very expensive lesson for the truck company. I hope they learn and realize thats its cheaper to maintain their trucks, and get reliable drivers than paying for accidents.

I saw the video as well...ano yung vehicle na tumagilid? I know it was a van of some kind? Revo/Adventure?

Glad that nobody got hurt!!!

[cocoy]

i think the blame should start with LTO.. too much corruption there.. anyone can get a license if your have the money... 2nd... trucks can still be registered using the non appearance system...

now if you break those two things down.. we have drivers driving not very road worthy trucks with very little knowledge of the rules of the road.. which equals to accidents..

just my opinion.. but i think corruption has become a part of our culture.. and filipinos are just tolerating it.. .this in part is affecting our very infratructure...

im just speaking of the transport sector and licensing sector.. but we all know there is more to it.

Sabi sa news wala pa daw nag rereklamo?

ako naman, i do see a reason for his . this driver will be on the streets again and "knock-on-wood" may endanger other motorists and pedestrians once more and then flee from the scene. sana meron man lang sanction na ipinatong dito like revoke his driving license or at least suspend it for some time and until he passes a real driving test.

its not just the truck company but the insurance companies that are burdened here financially.

Sinubukan pa rin ng truck na pabagalin by kissing the concrete fence but talagang mabigat dahil loaded. Normally tatakas talaga driver dahil pwede siya bugbog sa nangyari.

Probably the Revo. One of the turned over cars we saw at the accident site was a Revo. There was a Serena that was on its side and smashed to bits, but that was way over where the truck finally stopped.

The police themselves should file criminal charges. Reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property or at the very least public endangerment.

tingin ko air brakes pa ang gamit nitong truck (yung mga de-bomba). naalala ko tuloy yung owner namin dati mga 3 times nawalan ng preno pero dahil sanay na ang dad ko sa ganun, mabagal lang patakbuhin at engine braking then off engine habang kambyo solb.

dapat talaga sa truck ipinasok kaagad sa first gear para todo ang engine braking kaso sa tingin ko nag-panic na ang driver dahil masyadong mabilis ang arrival niya.

hindi de-bomba ang air brake ng truck

isang apak lang kagat na ang preno

may air compressor ang truck powered by the engine and may air tank kung saan naka store ang hangin

ang revs ng engine ang nagpopondo ng hangin sa air tank

kaya ang mga malaking truck, after starting the engine, kailangan i-rev para magka hangin

pag naubusan ang hangin ang tangke, mawawalan ng preno

either may singaw ang foot brake, linya ng hangin, o mahina na kumarga ng hangin ang compressor kaya naubos ang hangin at nawalan ng preno

parang grand theft auto!
buti nalang walang na matay.

Baka po sa sobrang bilis niya hindi pumasok sa 1st gear, ganon po yun di ba? Ewan ko lang po sa iba, kasi yung amin pag mabilis ka tapos gusto mo ipasok sa mas mababang gear na wala ka sa tamang speed po pumapasok, ewan ko lang po sa ibang sasakyan, ganun kasi sa dalawang sasakyan namin eh.

GTA! Haha natawa ako dito, makapag laro nga ako niyan ulit.

Yeah thank God everyone is OKAY!!

[badaboom]

Ang fault niyan sa company din kasi maintenance palang TINITIPID. kaya ang naiipit drivers, AFAIK dahan dahan yan kasi kahit papaano loaded siya, yun nga lang wala sa timing yung brake (w/c is brake failure na din) poor driver, sorry for the victims.

[Monseratto]

That ma-suspend yung trucking agency na iyan!

Pakibasa ang post ni sgt_taga. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit .

ang ibang truck may water brake. katolad ng trucks na biyahing bukidnon

Yup. When the truck is fully loaded, even the regular brakes have a hard time.

If the driver drives consistently fast and has to brake hard whenever he gets to congestion, he can quite quickly overheat the brakes and cause brake failure.

Truck brakes work best when they're cool. After the first heavy stop, the truck will take a few meters more to stop. After the second... a few more... pretty soon, the truck will hardly stop at all...

Sir niky this is very true, truck brakes undergo so much more stress than our car brakes this is called brake fade especially with constant hard braking which is regular driving habit here in the philippines.This is the same for jeeps and elfs..The brakes become so hot that they become hard to apply, hard pedal..For those who have driven an elf or passenger jeep when loaded even with just passengers its preatty hard to stop abruptly when going at highway speeds. As for the driver and pahinante sometimes when there are accidents especially if alot of damage has been done or death some people have a bad habit and take the law into there own hands by beating up the driver.

[likot]

Wasak yung Vios. Late breaking na rin yung driver tiwala sa break.

[badsekktor]

If it's a leak, on rubber lines, it's slow, and checking the fluid reservoir every trip should be enough. Also, you'll notice the pedal getting softer and softer and softer...

I agree!

All truck drivers should drive slowly when they are fully loaded. Not like they are driving 20-ton Ferraris.

Well lets just hope these drivers realize it.

Grabe ang traffic ng southbound lanes ng SLEX kaninang umaga.....

Baka may ganito na namang insidente....
