Hugh, I'm not sure exactly what the computer records in a heavy truck. The engine in mine is a N14-435 Celect.... and everything is electronically controlled, but I don't know what it's memory is. There was an incident here about 2-3 months ago where an indian woman got rolled out by a car carrier. The DOT and mounties were going up, over and down on that truck checking EVERYTHING. I know one of the mechanics that works in the shop where it was towed to for inspection. He told me the mounties were looking for the black box. He had a smart response they didn't like too much.... but long story short, they wern't finding that info that you suggest. However, that may have been an older mechanical truck. Dunno. This wasn't a speed accident anyway.... but I don't think they figured out just what happened yet. Like you say though, I would use whatever braking ability the truck had, Jake included, in an emergency. Noise bylaw be dammed. Rod
