As general driving goes, couldn't agree more Mature-Student. When travelling at caravan speed, which we seem to do all the time now (even when caravan isn't on the back!), we see some terrible driving!

As you say - me, me, me!

Sounds like our experience on the M5 last summer when we had traffic slowing ahead and then an idiot jumping into our braking space so as to get to the off slip a couple of seconds sooner. There was usually someone else up the tail of the van too close followed by others either too close together by choice or cos someone jumped into their braking space.

We were just lucky it didn't end in a similar way but happened at more than one junction. That and idiots joining the M5 and insisting on being in front instead oceanic behind the rig.

More consideration of other road users needs to be taught and less 'me, me me, me'.

unfortunatly there are some stupid people out there who have no idea what a braking space is until they get 2 and a half ton of  mitsubishi 4x4 pulling 1 and a half ton of caravan up there rear end.

Would not a quick camera shot to prove just how close the driver is added would let the firm know they really were that stupidly dangerous and they (the firm( will be paying the costs if it happens. It would not be your word  against theirs as you have better proof than just words.

Just a thought. As once a long time ago we were told always have a camera with you as if the person is local they can get away with it  by saying you the visitor do not know the road that well and caused it. That is what  happened to her,  she had not taken a shot of it,  but never again, she now carries a small camera ready for anything. The other driver a local got away with it, she had to pay all her & his costs. A rise in her insurance cost not his.

 We have one know, I feel like taking those who are using  their mobil phone as they come to darn close driving one handed round corners.
