well let's see: panic stops and long downhill grades are some examples, melt the brakes on something that was never engineered to tow that much weight in the first place.
Driving around in a parking lot is not the same as 60mph down a highway and getting hit by a cross wind. Seriously, in the US, if you got pulled over, it wouldn't continue on the highway, and the fines would be insane.
Trucks towing heavy loads, are engineered for capacities. Sure, plenty of people overload, and bad things do and can happen. The drivelines and brakes on even light duty diesel trucks are over engineered for a reason.
