Bus driver referred over brake-fade crash that injured six

Original: ブレーキ

A bus driver in Japan has been sent to prosecutors over a downhill accident that injured six people, after investigators found heavy use of the foot brake caused brake fade, leaving the vehicle with little stopping power on the slope. The case is drawing attention to how drivers handle long descents and whether engine braking should be used instead of relying on the foot brake.

Why now: A newly reported criminal referral in a bus accident where overworked brakes faded on a downhill slope has raised fresh concerns about safe braking practices.
