- I agree with all that Dave said at the start of this thread about motorway
- signs and people who pull into the gap that you have left in front of you
- for safety reasons - it annoys the hell out of me too.
-
- One sentence did have me concerned tho'.....
-
- : Typically its foggy and I have left a bigger than
- : usual gap between me and the car in front so I can be sure of stopping. Then
- : some idiot decides to pull into the gap resulting in three cars being nose to
- : tail.
-
- If the car pulling in really does leave you 'nose-to-tail' then it's a fairly
- safe bet that you hadn't left a big enough gp in the first place. You don't
- say what speeds are involved but at anything above walking pace in the fog
- this is probably true.
