That wasn't the point. The point was the mode of failure, "NO WARNING!!". And to warn you fellows, with Easamatics, to check your emergency brake.

Unfortunately, that is pretty much the scenario. Stop at one light and not the next. I believe Packard34s gave out on him when he was going at a good clip and needed to slow down for a turn. Doubt response time before even thinking of the emergency brake would have helped there.
