If car drivers had to sit in/drive an HGV they would understand how restricted the vision is. Whilst this one will have been alcohol related also, it is very easy to "lose" a car, even a van in a blind spot.

I don't generally travel alongside HGV and wit for space to pass them before attempting it. Obviously it can't always be that way but most of the time t can

Defensive driving. Good rule to follow. Shame a large percentage haven't a clue.

Defensive driving haven't heard that phrase for years, when I did my driving course in 1979  with London Ambulance Service  we taught this how to read the road & control  traffic  that is moving around you simply by defensive actions once learnt never forgotten, also enjoyed the skid pan & high speed training .

I,m always very wary when going to overtake a "left hooker". Always, where poss, have a shufti at the licence plate.

I'm both a lorryist and motobicyclist (well, was) so you learn to be defensive Plus I've cleared up my fair share of nasty and fatal accidents so see things from a very different angle

That is the real problem: Far too many drivers are utterly unaware of what is going on around them, or what various vehicles need to make them start/stop/steer. It would help if they actually concentrated on driving, rather than singing along with the radio/talking on the phone/daydreaming. This alone would eliminate all of the low speed running into the back of another car in traffic collisions, as there is no excuse for doing so.

I had another good job the other week which has given me & my boss a good laugh.

Made a police car sandwich (boxed it on the m/way) of an Astra that wouldn't stop, driver arrested for driving offences, 2 x drive offs from petrol stations, knife possession, car had no insurance tax or MOT & was seized & taken to police pound.

He rings me up the other day wanting me to release the car  to which I says "prove its yours, tax, Mot & insure it & pay the recovery costs and you can have it back + you can't drive it as you have no license".

He's now complaining to my boss  and says he's gonna have my job

But it's his human right to drive without a license

Don't joke. The ECHR would probably find in his favour.

I don't think this is funny. It's not even pathetic. It is a sad indictment of the society we have allowed to grow, influenced mainly by crackpot rules introduced by crackpot bureaucrats in Brussels. Another reason why I hanker for 'the good old days' when tw**s like this would have been locked away for a very long time.

Ah, STEMO, you mean those halcyon days when the streets were black & white - and the people weren't?

No. I'm sure there's a rule or a law about that.
