  "Dabiara" brake failures in every accident which occurs in Ghana, how do the brakes fails, is it because brakes are worn out without replacing them How can one put on worn out clothes to go out isn't it the same?

  Do we have police in Ghana? Every vehicle needs to have their brakes checked. What the IGP doing? This has happened too many times. We don’t value our citizens.

  You can have new brake pads and if the air system is not working, you will fail to stop.
  In this case, I think the weight of the fuel load was too much for the engine capacity, and the road was probably unpaved and the tires were worn.Nothing will stop the roll back unless the transmission is automatic and engages forward gears so the driver can maintain a position on the hill. With worn tires and failed brakes, if the hill is steep you are in trouble
