will they ever learn
Devon-Rover:
I get the same prob on the M ways. Most car drivers think that my 35 year old landy on MT's will stop as well as an ABS equiped car.
or when i'm towing they just pull into my stopping distance. :evil: IMHO they should teach motorway driving as part of the driving test. not offer it as part of the pass plus which not all new drivers take up.

:shock: I can remember reading an article on road saftey and they said who would drive safer a driver with every saftey device,or a driver with a spike in the middle of his steering wheel,thats the problem they think there invincable with ABS ESP etc... :?
Cate:
Surely the same happens to all drivers, I realise that a big heavy lorry has a longer stopping distance but I too get peed off with other car drivers who whizz in infront of me and expect me to brake to leave a reasonable distance! grrrrrr
Tonka One:
These incidents are caused by Arrogance and Ignorance.....
Stopping distances :shock: most drivers dont know the meaning of the word...especially in the wet....
Most drivers think that ABS and Traction control systems will stop them from skidding :shock: :shock: .....They obviously haven't heard about driver input yet .... quite a revolutionary concept :D :D :D

--- Quote from: "Jake" ---We (HGV drivers) see it everyday
Why do car drivers think that the brakes on a truck are so much better than all the cars around them?
We leave a big gap in front for a reason!
We need it!!
:roll:
(I hope the driver was ok)

Hmmmm... must be other truck drivers I see on the motorway slipstreaming the truck in front then... :wink:
Never mind the safety... must be as boring as hell watching the @rse end of a truck that's filling yer windscreen!
