Why is it forbidden to use these types of brake ?

Asked by Pretty_Lilly (4660points) April 6th, 2010

I have seen road signs stating “Compression Brake use not permitted ” or “J-Brake usage not allowed”
My question is why are trucks not allowed to use these type of brake systems also why are they fitted with something they are not allow to use ? As long as it’s not a type of brake that would dig into and damage the road to stop the vehicle what difference does it make ?
