What is the stopping distance from 60mph with the trailer brakes disconnected to simulate an electric brake system failure?
Probably stop better than this would have stopped with a lot less fire at my EOL.
Would you feel safe knowing you were towing your trailer after the trailer brakes failed?
Well, since that tanker probably has safety brakes, if an air problem developed, he would have a pretty hard time actually =moving= it once they locked up. Most guys I know would stop ASAP after having a brake failure on their trailer where the safety brakes did NOT kick in.
