In recent months, incidents involving large vehicles such as buses, heavy-load trucks, and trailers have frequently made headlines, often being blamed for causing road accidents.
These incidents have drawn significant public concern, especially when they result in casualties among road users.
Despite repeated reminders to comply with regulations and ensure vehicle safety, some drivers continue to neglect these critical responsibilities.
Trailer carrying stone blocks without barriers
Recently, a video went viral on social media showing a trailer truck carrying several large stone blocks without any barriers securing them.
The footage, shared by a TikTok user @suraidahyacob78, captured the truck moving along a busy road in the capital city.
What caught the attention of viewers was the complete lack of restraints on the left, right, and rear sides of the trailer, leaving the massive stone blocks dangerously exposed.
“It’s terrifying to drive next to this truck. There are no barriers at all! If something happens, I won’t even have time to react,” the user commented in the video.
Woman claims truck was speeding
The woman further alleged that the trailer truck was traveling at a high speed, which added to her concerns. She emphasized that the lack of securing mechanisms made the situation even more dangerous.
“It’s nerve-wracking to drive next to a truck like this. Not only is it speeding, but it’s also carrying cargo without any barriers.
“I don’t know much about physics, but this looks extremely dangerous. What do you think?” she wrote in the video’s caption.
Netizens’ reaction
The video has since sparked discussions among social media users, with many calling for stricter enforcement of safety regulations to prevent potential accidents involving heavy vehicles.
“This counterweight stone is already heavy… it won’t fall because of its weight. Okay, let’s assume it does fall… even if you tie it, the rope won’t do anything because if it’s going to fall, it’ll still snap since this thing is super heavy. It’s like metal!”
“It looks heavy, but its surface is smooth. Even with inertia, that thing can still slip due to recoil.”
“Doesn’t matter whether there’s inertia or not, have you guys never watched Final Destination?” 😭
