So, who was to blame here?
Asda for taking the stupid stance of making their lorries slower than a JCB Fastrac?
The Megane driver for the stupid impatience?
The VW Transporter for not looking to see what the car in front is doing?
IF the Asda truck had been going 50mph, would the incident ever have happened?

Get heavy goods back on the trains.
but will people be happy with empty shop shelf,s? there is a canal down the end of my street, perhaps we could start using them again ?

AND; even at 68mph, downhill with the wind behind it, top wack, I still pass a good 75% (if not more!) of the other traffic!
It's a pity all engines aren't governed by GPS regulated limiters, the roads would be much safer; and people might actually learn to drive better... :|
