 HGV secondary brakes. - Old Navy
HGVs are fitted with a secondary braking system which is operated by a lever on the steering column (in my day anyway). Someone in the media has latched onto this and called it a "dead mans handle" when reporting on the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy. They questioned whether the two crew members in the cab had been trained to use it. I doubt if a non HGV qualified driver would even know it existed, did any of you guys and girls?
