    Seems pretty dumb that it's not interlocked somehow. One switch and your trailers off trying to kill other drivers.

    Yeah, wow... Although there was something similar with a Jap truck handbrake a while back - I recall a thing coming out telling us to fit something to prevent it being knocked off when you released your seatbelt.

    On boats we used to fit a cover over critical switches, stop them being flipped unintended. Rail was the same.

    That was one, but there was another where the park brake lever was a simple flip type and it was right by the seat belt catch alongside the driver's seat. We were peddling one with this, and it was an arse of a thing because if you weren't careful the park brake was released with the seatbelt. A notice came out about it, and eventually the lever had to be replaced with the one that has the lifting collar interlock (2 movement release).

    That could have been so much worse.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yeh that is a real fuck up that one. The cab should have been over by where the bully blade is when he started turning that corner.
