Well, I just gotta disagree with you here on this statement. Surely you know that any "individual" coach will stop quicker with toad brakes. I don't care what coach you have, it will stop quicker. Period. I just don't see how you can refute that and how anyone would not want this to happen.
I'm not trying to refute that supplemental brakes might make a coach stop quicker (though I'm yet to be convinced on how effective they are in some cases). I'm only refuting whether that additional braking is necessary in every case to be considered 'safe'.

So it seems we're at an impasse. Let's just agree to disagree and let it go at that. You're not going to convince me and obviously I'm not going to convince you.

You're right - we're probably not going to convince each other, so better to part ways on a positive note. It's been a fun mental exercise debating with you. :) Thank you for keeping it friendly.
Safe travels to you and yours.
