              Which is why I brake-test dickheads who drive too close behind me on motorways.

              You might think it's not clever, but I value my life.
              He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

                  That's fine,I agree with you,but,what is your interpretation of sufficient distance ?

                  You see cars with 50-100 metres gap ahead of them,that's sufficient distance,but you're leaving yourself wide open to slow cars behind trucks pulling out ahead of you,and undertaking !!

                    I no what you mean mate i always try to keep to around 65 70
                    i dont think theres any excuss to undertake mate thats just wrong in my eyes
                    best advice on the motorway is to keep your distance
                    theres to many people that get far to close
                    they have absolutly no chance in avoiding a car that brakes instantly

                            Whats more worrying is the fact that people automatically blame the truck drivers.. but they never look at there selves weaving in and out of traffic.. cutting people up..

                              Was thinking more of a waste of fuel - once oil runs out nil poi - if people want a new life, just a little ~~~~ing about - job done.

                              Goes the other way - keeps a pig in a job (uploading on you tube) - scrap yard to dispose of the wrecked cars - body shop to repair minor damaged cars - funeral directors - car hire places - motorway services folks busy - not all doom and gloom - unless there was DK members involved and are now unable to log into DK due to no transport.
