Yes, that is the FULL TECHNICAL meaning, but we don't need to be so verbose with our answers here. "WTF are you doing?!" is good enough.
Oh I drive an 18 wheeler, this is the shortened form for us when we have to deal with people trying to commit suicide with our trucks
That sounds terrible... I mean, having to deal with those people. Like, sure, it seems effective, but the amount of problems it will cause for the driver is just not worth it.
Oh it’s hell and we get shit from safety if we can’t get back off from em fast enough but god yeah a lot of people are on disability for PTSD because they weren’t able to avoid someone acting stupid and killed em (there was a lady that got breakchecked while she was grossing 78K pounds going down a mountain, they took her truck back to the shop n put it in the back lot n all the trainers bring their students to it n tell em that sometimes you really can’t avoid it and you just have to say a prayer that it doesn’t happen to you) hell there was a family a little bit back that was for some fucking reason having a picnic on a runaway truck ramp, there was a dude whose breaks failed going down a mountain and so he aimed for the runaway ramp (like you’re fucking supposed to so that you don’t kill other people and hopefully don’t die) not seeing that there were people on it until he got too close n ended up killing the whole family. Think he even got arrested which is even more messed up. There’s a lot of stories like this, I wish people weren’t so stupid.
