    Luckily, the car's computer thinks everything is OK. Make sure you tell the insurance company that when you plough into the back of someone who doesn't accelerate away.
    It does explain a lot.

    Sit there on auto radar cruise, foot down to keep as close as it'll let you, and delegate all thinking to that.

    We have. That's why the comments are what they are.

    We even read the ones that said you weren't going to enter into any further debate. Did you read those?

    Don't think I was driving too close, neither did the cars computer.
    You were driving too close. Was the computer driving?
    Check the time on the video, use the bus as a marker and you will see I was well over 2 seconds behind the RR.
    The bus is moving. You don't understand the two second rule.
  • I also agreed I was to blame in post 26.

    Just let it go and move on.
    If the RR was playing silly games, by exiting the motorway so he couldn't hold you up, you won!!
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Yeah, right. There wasn't a trace of sarcasm in that post at all, was there?
  • Just for the record, I have footage were it shows me behind him for a few miles before the video I posted, nothing wrong with either his or my driving, I just don't understand why he slowed down to 54mph in the outside lane when there was nothing in front of him?
    It may be mildly annoying to some, but having attended a lot of RTC's actually on is stretch of the A1, I can tell you it's irresponsible driving like this that causes accidents, which sometimes involves innocent parties being hurt or killed.

    Of course you have.
