I was driving on the highway again, when I saw steam and liquid come out of a bus’ right rear wheel, I thought to myself: brake failure. But then, some of the liquid caught on my windshield...

and it was water.

Did this motherfucker have water-cooled brakes?

I know it sounds like something that Torch would say, but it really made me think and research if it was even possible.

It is! Water cooling is used for industrial brakes and water mist is injected into brake cooling ducts for Aussie V8 Supercars.

What if that passenger bus had those?

If it was a coach bus that was probably toilet juice...

It’s very common on logging trucks and such in hilly areas. Also, on these guys:

I think it’s more likely he was purging the air tanks. With air brakes you have to purge the tanks regularly because water will form from condensation inside.

My guess is it may do it automatically or something if it detects enough moisture.
