Is it really? Those things move so slow. I think the driver hasnt put the hand brake on. Or there is something else going on....Quote:

Yeah who knows. Bit of a bummer for the owner as it looks like it was on its way to fraser.
A side question... Will the owners now cop a fine for polluting. Diesel, oil, etc in the ocean? Will a recovery even take place or do they just leave it... ?
I think regardless of a working handbrake or not, vehicles should not just be able to roll into the ocean. You would think there would be some bollards or something in place to stop them if they do move. Wonder who's insurance needs to cover it?
Bloody Toyota handbrakes!
