    Truck driver is wrong for going out with an unsecured load. They were driving too fast. Even if it hadn’t been a car that got splattered wet concrete in the road would be a major hazard.

      Yeah why does it keep pouring that long after the truck is stopped? Something wasnt not done properly here.

        Can’t confirm the quantity that would release, but a front-loading cement truck would certainly dump at least a small amount of concrete when slamming on the brakes that hard. The slump of the concrete seems to be 7-8”(loose) and there is no mechanism that would completely prevent concrete from spilling forward that I am aware of.

        That said, the concrete does appear to continue for a while after reasonably assuming gravity would stop the flow. Maybe he turned on the hydraulics since he was pissed?

          I think that’s the case, he probably turned on the hydraulics because at the start it spills from the front (Front of the camera, a lil to the left?) when he brakes then it just pours out of the right.

          Was thinking it could be the weight shift of the concrete all at once blowing out the hydraulic in the front leaving it to pour.

      This is also true but I still enjoy seeing someone who probably shouldn’t be driving face consequences for failing to follow basic road safety
