Truck loses brakes, spirals down Kapiringozi Mountain pass

[@denmkhabela5248]

From what am seeing in this video, the driver didn't want to stop the truck...he had many opportunities to stop it...but he continued with it...

[@deongunter8022]

Where you ever in the same circumstance i don't think so my friend !

[@vuyosayasholento3714]

😂

[@ToxicForLife-c3z]

He needed to degrease the gears

[@qhubekanimaduna6364]

Only Polo drivers will say the driver didn't want to stop the truck....

[@Dean_matongera]

Momentum is your worst enemy in this situation. There's nothing worse than having failed brakes and you can't changedown because the load is pushing the truck so the engine is at high rev already. I hope he made it.

[@martinmare87]

But at 02:55 the truck slowed a bit, that was his only chance to hit the wall on the right and stop the machine

[@barniemarais3777]

Very surprised one of those potholes did not stop him😒

[@badass262]

he also did not want to stop... so many missed opportunities to stop...

[@franwhelanable]

The driver wanted to avoid a fire so kept driveing to allow air to cold brakes back down ?

[@kwezizwane5742]

This driver didn't want to stop that truck... If he was terrified he would have stopped it easily....

[@bayeni5223]

Don't say anything if you have never drove a truck before, trucks and a small they is huge different between those two and driving is not the same.

[@kwezizwane5742]

@LandOfTheFree1776 as I was watching the video, I realized that he knows that road perfectly, there aren't any sharp turns and downhills... He was just cruising nicely 😂😂😂 that's how we drivers do... When it's a straight downhill will let the truck hit 120kmp so it's easy...

[@kwezizwane5742]

@@bayeni5223 okay but I'm a truck driver myself, that road got no sharp turns and downhills that can terrify a good seasoned driver, that's why he wasn't stressing

[@agilityptyltd9624]

I think the driver contributed much in this. I believe his speed downhill might have been the cause,he might have miscalculated. Again, knowing the road too well doesn't not mean you will find the road clear. Look at the way he passed the first truck,if there was on coming traffic it was going to be game over.

[@marcussok6469]

He was over speeding, a lot of Zambian gears to save fuel ,thats a big risk truckers do

[@deongunter8022]

Talk is always cheap but knowledge buy's the Whiskey

[@MvR640]

Listen to all the potholes neing hit....... thanks ANC, they only ones in SA on a smooth ride is you

[@michaelseleka9315]

Did it stop?

[@BOBBY-et9xb]

All trucks should be fitted with CB radios to communicate and assist each other in emergencies. Not for small talk.

[@Oyenamjoli-qb5eu]

I agree

[@ToxicForLife-c3z]

Why he did not degrease the gears

[@Mocheso22]

Dude had plenty of time to zig zag the truck and loose momentum, he could have stoped it.

[@sfisooscarntbntombela1881]

I hope you called emergency rescue before recording brother...

[@edmafiie]

He did want to stop this guy cz we can clearly see the road has ups and downs

[@Uncle_Anesu]

Silly why keep on going

[@brucemakoni8065]

To avoid fire

[@laqueshsa3435]

Looks like zalawi truck

[@gordtron]

terrifying

[@Keitumetsemulaudzi]

Yeah

[@jacktechprofessional7764]

He was supposed to stop with the trees when the speed slowed down on hill. I guess he got unconscious because he wouldn't wait for another downhill no even gear change down would have helped . The Camera man is also the most stupid human being that following distance uphill was too close if the truck had stopped it would have reversed with full speed.

[@insanitywithin1]

This is what happens when a black man buys his License

[@bonifacemanjoro6378]

Fake story.At what speed were you driving behind him. Liar

[@eyevinivan2207]
