Use of engine brake prohibited
I was driving over a mountain pass in a passenger vehicle between Las Cruces and White Sands and noticed a sign that read "Use of engine brake prohibited." That's the first time I've ever seen such...

Most of the signs in our area have a caveat reading "Except in an Emergency". The newer exhaust brakes are barely noticeable in comparison the older Jake Brakes. Every once in a while I see some young trucker cruising down the highway then letting off on the accelerator for no apparent reason. I believe most of the time it's more to get attention than to slow down the truck.
Years ago you couldn't hear yourself think when going through downtown Atlanta. It seemed like there was a competition between truckers as to who could make the most noise when going through an underpass. Sometimes there were so many trucks applying the Jake brake you couldn't hear the radio in the car when it was on at full volume and all the windows were rolled up.
