Caution Air Brakes - What Does it Mean?
Caution Air Brakes - What Does it Mean?
I've always seen this warning on heavy trucks but had no idea what it meant. Quoted from this site.
"Caution Air Brakes– Stay 17 metres away - Heavy trucks use air brakes exclusively. Air brakes use compressed air to make the brakes work. Air brakes are designed to bring heavy vehicles to a complete stop very suddenly. Small vehicles are advised to stay a reasonable distance away since they lack the ability to stop suddenly and may end up in a collision."
