Doesn't engine braking also tend to produce smoke too?

I think the town fathers would prefer that trucks drive at a
cautious rate of speed within the town limits then be forced to
make that choice.

I am sure though that you would come up with some reason why
the object or vehicle in front of the truck was at fault anyways.
Most likely that the vehicle in front was being arrogant.
