LGV Exhaust Brakes
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I have been driving LGV's for more years than I care to mention
and have used various types of exhaust brakes in various makes of Lorry's over the years, today I came across an exhaust brake that when applied really had a significant reduction in speed, it had 2 settings and when used on the 2nd setting it was "almost" like touching the footbrake, it really slowed the vehicle so much so that i was thinking of the car behind me not noticing I was slowing, so I "feathered" the foot brake to alert him with the lights.
OK OK Question time
Q - anyone think that the "Exhaust brake" should be linked up to the brake lights or maybe an extra light to inform following vehicles of the reduction in speed?
