An interdict is a court order that may be sought in order to enforce a right. It is usually sought by way of application proceedings which are relatively inexpensive and are far less time consuming than trial proceedings.
Automatic braking is a safety technology that automatically activates the vehicleâs brake system, to some degree, when necessary. Systems vary from pre-charging brakes, to slowing the vehicle to lessen damage. Some advanced systems completely take over and stop the vehicle before a collision occurs.
A âJake Brakeâ is an engine compression release brake used especially for steep hill downgrades. The Jake Brake opens the exhaust valves when the piston is near top dead center (where ignition normally occurs). On the upstroke, the piston compresses the air in the cylinder to 1/15th its original volume, which creates drag on the engine. The Jacobs Engine Brake then releases the compressed air and the energy stored in it before it can push back on the piston during the down stroke. The Jake Brake turns a power producing engine into a power absorbing air compressor and in turn, causes the truck to slow down.
