Reply With QuoteVery unfortunate incident, from the police comments it was apparently a case where common sense was taking a break as well.
Very sad for all involved.

I have a few Landcruiser owning friends who go bush with me.Originally Posted by justinc
Is there something that they should know be warned about?
They will listen to me now that I don't own a Land Rover.

SupporterI cant see anywhere in that report that says the 4WD was a Landcruiser, It could have been a Landrover for all we know

SupporterI never rely solely on a handbrake regardless of what car/truck/4WD i am using at the time and i never sleep downhill from ANY vehical either.
Lots of people are now venturing out into the bush which is fantastic But there is very little education or guidence available to these people other than those bloody over the top 4WD TV shows to help them prevent tradgedies like this unfortunately.
A LC handbrake is just as good as any other handbake which is usually just adequate so leaving the car in 1st gear or park on an automatic is mandatory if you want to ensure the truck doesn't move.

Disc handbrakes with mechanical caliper may have an issue, Handbrake applied when hot , disc and calipers contract as they cool down losing grip. Many EPB's work this way . As stated leaving an Auto in Park or a Manual in gear is also vital.
Also note, Issue with some electric cars eg Tesla , don't have a park pawl or a manual gearbox , and no engine compression in any case. ADR's don't specify a secondary park brake,
My EV has a disc park brake and I know for a fact I'd never lie down behind it. I'll make a point to carry a dedicated wheel chock.
