JAKARTA - The National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) submitted the results of an investigation into a tourism bus accident in Bukit Bego, Bantul on February 6, 2022 due to a failure of the braking system. "So the factor causing this accident is when facing a sub-standard road, the driver uses high teeth to brake many times and has an impact on rapidly decreasing the brake system," said Acting Head of the LLAJ Accident Investigation Sub-Committee of NTSC Wildan in an online media released. monitored in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, November 30. Wildan explained that bus drivers use high teeth on the downhill road which is relatively steep enough to give the vehicle a very large thrust. The use of high teeth forced the driver to brake repeatedly so that the bus experienced wind trends. This condition makes the Pneumatic power produced by the brake system unable to provide explosive thrust to suppress the thromol. Traces of braking that were cut off and getting thinner at a distance of 200 meters at the scene showed the decline in pneumatic power. In addition, the driver tries to lower to low teeth at a time when the vehicle is traveling quite fast which results in a failure in the transmission system. "Busers and trucks, don't ever lower your teeth on the road decrease. When the wheels are very high, then you lower your teeth, the proportion of engine and wheel spins is not balanced so that they finally enter neutral teeth," he said. Furthermore, Wildan said, based on the results and investigative data obtained by the NTSC, it was known that the average failed brake-induced accident was caused by a very high speed. Drivers usually try to lower their teeth as an effort to do engine brake, even though at high speed the transmission system will actually move to neutral teeth. He also emphasized that none of the automotive technologies would allow drivers to move lower teeth on the downhill road as engines would collapse. "When it is going to lower the teeth, it will definitely step on the coupling so that the thrust becomes maximized. The transmission system will definitely refuse, even if it enters, its teeth will collapse," he said. A tourism bus accident hit a cliff in Bukit Bego, Imogiri, Bantul, on Sunday, February 6, causing 14 people to die, 4 people were seriously injured and 29 people were slightly injured.
