The tractor trailer is fully loaded to 40 tons GCW.Read more: http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/glo...

Do they say what the load weight in the trailer is though? That's the death variable
40 tonnes.
The video is from 2013.

Ha, my point was how much technology would've improved since then.

Have to go to about 1.20 before anything good happens...even then not enough

@taniwharugby sounds awesome bro.

@nzzp impressive but fuck me they could programme it to slow down a bit earlier. I still would have shit myself seeing that truck not stopping until the last minute.
they've got this physical device for it, called a pedal if you don't want to wait for the emergency system to kick in.
But yeah, it'd give you the shits seeing that bearing down on you! -

@Kirwan Probably as real as John Wick
Don’t care, it’s still awesome.

Fuuuck!!

@taniwharugby When I see stuff like that I always wonder why the guys watching it don’t do something. Fire a gun, blow the horn, anything to give the prey a chance.
Edit: They watched that for five hours?!

@Catogrande grab a tissue then city boy😉. Odds are that giraffe died a slow death 12 to 24 hours later if that makes you feel better.
Can we please have one domain of life where feelings can't change facts? 😀

Prolly the same guys then have to shed a tear when they come across a pride of lions that died of starvation.

@Siam I’d assumed the odd animal or two might die prematurely in the wild 😬 just find it odd not to do something in that case, just sit back and watch for five hours. Why not then follow it until it drops down dread too. Would get more notice on insta or wherever

They could have just left some sandwiches for the lions
