May allah bless their souls in Jannh...
Very VERY tragic...
I hope the GoP getts a shock nd repair the roads, nd improve safety measures..

Just came to know about sad demise of sir Nisar. Knew him personally when he was doing his master at George Washington University, Washington DC. He was an intellegent and devoted family man who was proud of Pakistan.
Hope his second son is ok.
A great loss for PAF and may Allah give sabr to his family for this tragic loss.
What's the point in digging up 7 year old thread ?Pakistanis are zero educated about driving regulations.
Down the slopes of the mountain and constant braking the pads OVER HEATED ---I felt the brakes fading---and then came a time when I pushed the brake pedal---and nothing happened---no brakes---I knew what was happening---I down shifted---slowed down and drove the car into the snow bank on the side of the road to stop----.
When was the brake fluid last changed in the car? High moisture content in old fluid (it is hygroscopic by design) will boil suddenly leading to failure. Even cheap pads usually suffer only a gradual loss of braking as they heat up.
the poor condition of the roads,untrained drivers, lack of safety features in cars, non implementation of traffic laws are mainly responsible for so many road traffic accidents in pak. the recent ahmad pur incident shows that poorly maintained tanker was mainly responsible for the disaster.Inalillahe wa Ina Ilehe Rajeoon, irreparable damage to the family.
Sir no car in the world is strong enough to endure the fall if you are unfortunate enough to go off road in these regions, the minimum fall is not less than 100 to 150 ft while at some places the ravines are miles deep. Besides, one dies on the day one is supposed to die so it doesn't matter if you are sitting in an armored vehicle or a bicycle.
I did not, I commented thinking its a latest news.What's the point in digging up 7 year old thread ?
Hi,
Indeed---the brakes suffered gradual loss---and I knew what was coming--. We were five people in a Datsun B210---and the down hill was steep coming down from an 7500 ft high ski resort---.
I was keeping the speed down by down shifting---and the moment I realized that I would not be able to slow it down anymore---I drove the right front wheel into the snow bank.
You are right about the brake fluid---that is one thing we don't care about other than just topping it off if the level goes down---.
In our auto engineering lab---we did perform a lab test on the brakes overheating---that was over 30 years ago---I don't have the results---but the I still remember the after market brake pads failed much sooner than the factory brake pads---.
