Hard Brake!
Topic 26385 | Page 1
Wow! That's amazing. I don't think I've come across anything like that before. I wonder what that's all about. Maybe flooding or erosion had undermined the road, and that was their quick fix?
Interesting.
Trying to think of some lyrics for, “Off-Roading On 18 Wheels”.....
That will definitely wake you up in the wee hours of the morning. Each day is always an adventure.
Man you went from trucking to Mario kart in an instant
RD, way to be alert. You got stopped in time to evaluate the situation. Better to be safe than sorry.
I saw this at I-29 and Highway 2 Tama Iowa Nebraska border this spring when the roads were washed out. I drove it during the daytime so it didn't surprise me like what happened to you.
Man I would hate to come across that at night on a motorcycle!!!
Yeah. It was a really dark road (u.s. 83 in TX) and the speed limit was 75mph for a lot of the road. 75 on a little road like this? Only in Texas! I think the speed limit dropped to 60 or 65 in this area.
Been waiting for a message from safety about a hard-braking incident. Nothing yet. I thought for sure if you can smell the brakes, you probably braked hard enough for a recordable.

You would have known immediately by the dreaded red exclamation point and critical event mssg. If you didn't get that, you're clear.

I’ve had a few of those. The roads in NY are bad enough the pot holes will set it off. For a roll event I assume.

I came across this in the wee hours of the morning. The only signs I saw were a standard roadwork sign and "bump". Nothing saying there was a raised, gravel/dirt surface ahead.
When I first saw it, I thought it was loose dirt and I hit the brakes hard, fearing I might get stuck. I sat there wondering what to do for a few minutes until a car went around me and drove right over it. I followed.
Pretty surprising though

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
