Informative video, No.1, but real scary too!
Have heard tales of blokes that had fires caused by binding brakes, or wheel bearings catching fire, and tyres bursting some minutes after the fires were put out. One bloke crawled under a trailer to repair the air fittings, after giving it "time to cool", and a tyre blew, filling his eyes with the powder out of the extinguisher.
Had to crawl out, and wait for another truckie to come along and give him some assistance. Happened on the
Tablelands Highway NT, so had to wait for awhile for help.
Thanks No.1,
Bob
