Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Some I drove did, but as you say they were noisy. The one I recall was a fourth pedal to the left of the clutch that just went click when you trod on it to trigger the exhaust brake.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Telma rings a bell now yeah. The best versions had a lever on the dash to pick your level of braking from it. A great device for long hills to avoid riding the brakes
