Context: So I did . Then , at the bottom of the Coquihalla Highway , there was an East Indian fellow who got out of his truck scratching his head at the great plumes of smoke billowing out from the wheels of his trailer . Looks like he got an expensive lesson on why you 're not supposed to ride the brakes going down a hill .. I do n't feel sorry for him , but I am very glad nobody was hurt ... The rest of the trip to Van went without incident .
Question: What is the reason great plumes of smoke billowing out from the wheels of his trailer ?
Option 0: The brakes were brand new and he was n't used to driving with them .
Option 1: He rode the brakes down the hill and it caused frictive pressure on the tires , instead of going in a lower gear .
Option 2: The tires were worn out .
Option 3: None of the above choices .
Answer: 1
