C-DUBBZ: Weekly Driver, that is crazy! glad you are ok now and no one got hurt :/

Weekly driver: Yesterday I experienced a total break failure. My cab kept rolling even with pumping the break pedal, but that was like stepping into butter. Luckily, I had a second to use the hand break, but imagine if there is a biker or pedestrian. Hand break is for secure the car when parked, and at speed could not stop the vehicle in time. I checked the break oil, that was OK. I restarted the cab (Ford Escape), and then the break worked again. Did anyone else have this type of problems with their cabs?
