I'm a truck driver and I know most ppl don't understand the dangers of the pressure the tires are under.
For 1 Aaron even tho u had the right away to do so,
I wouldn't have advise a pass at the point in case he decided NOT to take the ramp.
Now u have a 80,000 lb truck behind you with little control and no brakes!
Or maybe a tire can blow because of the heat and pressure from the overheated brakes.
Ever see those big bands of tire on the hwy that came from trucks.....
