Probably another common cause of accidents, if you veer off into another lane and then panic to stop yourself at speed your three quarters of the way to snaking the van.

These people shouldn't be allowed on the road, they're endangering themselves and everyone else around them.

From what I've seen over recent weeks, I'm ashamed to observe that that will be a fairly small and exclusive club then John.

Agree there, have seen vans driffting in the lane,mabe driver up early for a quick start to a trip,driving for more than two hours without brake,and starting to get tired, must be at a certain place for a particular time turning caravaning into a rat race to get as much time on site as possible, for me caravaning is a leisurely activity,to visit new places,see new people,and sites, and if worst comes and you dont make the site,or the over night bay,you will not be stuck for a bed, i always plan 2hours for every hundred miles moter ways and 2and1/2 to 3 hours on other roads.

Agreed.  I very rarely see these things.  I occasionally see someone on the phone.  I don't do it myself, but I have to say that a lot of caravanners do much worse things.

80 mph, car too small for caravan ( I see this one a lot), badly loaded and wagging all over the place, car so full you can't see through the windows, bikes covering the lights (not relevant to caravans, but obviously on holiday, maybe tent campers).  Just as likely - if not more - to kill someone.

I find you only have time to look inside another car is when you're in a queue.
