Goodo Organisation Commercial Fleet Risk 2026

08/06/2026

This incident is a powerful reminder of why drivers must always reduce speed when approaching bends and intersections. These are high-risk areas where pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles can appear unexpectedly. As seen in the video, excessive speed nearly resulted in a tragedy, with the truck narrowly missing a pedestrian and almost overturning onto a taxi carrying passengers. Slowing down gives drivers more time to react, maintain control of their vehicles, and protect every road user. Remember: Share the Road, Share the Responsibility.

A well secured load is a safe load, every trip, every load. Share the Road, Share the Responsibility.

The biggest challenge is not knowledge, data, or even responsibility—it is the failure to translate road safety into a compelling, shared narrative that assigns clear accountability and moves people to act. When “everyone is responsible,” no one leads; when data isn’t humanized, decision-makers don’t feel urgency; and when communication blames individuals instead of systems, we misdiagnose the problem. At Goodo Organisation, we see that lives are being saved—but the story isn’t being told in a way that inspires ownership, trust, and coordinated action. Until road safety is communicated as a clear, emotionally resonant story with defined roles and system-level thinking, progress will continue to stall.

SHOCKING FINDING:

The Truth Behind Runaway Trucks on Town Hill

By Tawanda Muzambi | Goodo Organisation

Campaign: Share the Road, Share the Responsibility

Today, I came across a deeply disturbing video showing a runaway truck on the notorious Town Hill — specifically near the Peter Brown Interchange.
What shocked me most is not just the incident…
It’s the possible cause behind it.
There is growing concern that some of these runaway truck incidents may not be mechanical failure alone — but driver decisions influenced by fuel-saving practices.
Let me explain.
Some drivers are reportedly:
Going downhill in neutral gear
Relying only on trailer brakes and foot brakes
Avoiding proper engine braking
We all know what happens next…
Brake overheating
Brake fade
Total brake failure
A fully loaded truck becomes a missile
All in the name of saving diesel.
Now here’s the uncomfortable question we must face:
Are drivers doing this because they are under pressure from employers who give them insufficient fuel?
OR
Are some drivers deliberately trying to save diesel for personal gain?
This is not an easy conversation — but it is a necessary one.
At the heart of the Safe System Approach, which we strongly believe in at Goodo Organisation, is this truth:
“Most fleet accidents are predictable and preventable when driver behavior and risk awareness are addressed.”
If a driver chooses neutral downhill on a steep descent like Town Hill, that is not just a mistake…
It is a high-risk decision with deadly consequences.
We must also look deeper:
Are companies creating unrealistic fuel targets?
Are drivers incentivized in ways that compromise safety?
Is there enough training on downhill control and brake management?
When systems fail drivers… drivers sometimes make dangerous choices.
Let me be clear:
No amount of diesel saved is worth a human life.
A professional driver must understand:
A truck is controlled by gears first, brakes second
Going downhill in neutral is not fuel saving — it is life risking
Proper use of engine braking and retarders is non-negotiable
Final Thought
What we are seeing on Town Hill is not just a driver problem.
It is a system problem + behavior problem combined.
Until we address both…
Runaway trucks will continue to steal lives that could have been saved.
Call to Action
To all truck drivers, fleet owners, and transport companies:
Let us return to discipline.
Let us return to training.
Let us return to responsibility.
The road does not forgive shortcuts.
