Actual spelling is Highway, not Higway.
I guess in Germany they don't use H.

What's so important about a Gasoline engined Straight truck on such a small hill?? Notice also that the speed WAS NOT increasing?! Not much of a driver as there is one way to slow it down: Use the side of the road as in scraping along the terrain.
I really like the German subtitles, how special.

Those old kawi kz 1000 would have made great chock blocks. I love the old shows, they went past a Ford Granada, I had one was a great car.

You can tell that was before the CDL where the driver would have been placed under arrest for operating a truck with bad brakes, where CHP would assume he didn't pre-trip it well enough and endagered the public. The company gets fined as well, fires the driver who is in his 50's and can't find another job so turns to the bottle and ends up eating a .357 in a dank dark weekly rate hotel dive on the outskirts of town.

The Hollywood hand shake ending was better.

As opposed to those (when/where available) runaway ramps.
Either way will destroy equipment yet using the side of a road will slow one down or may introduce other problems depending entirely upon environment (location), whether day or night, weather, Haz-mat, liquid (Tanker) or dry freight, experience level of driver, etc.
