Often with these queuing traffic ones the main offender in not concentrating does manage to swerve and get away with it and its the one behind that hits it.Well the one behind is too close or not paying proper attention!
Following the highway code’s two second rule in such circumstances you would be unable to stop in time even allowing for lightning reaction times.
I totally agree with you on that point but in my view some drivers tend to forget that the two second rule is a minimum distance for an alert car driver in good conditions and not a safe travelling distance from the vehicle in front.
I was always taught in a wagon you have to double that (know the score and make it four) at least especially when loaded and it stood me well for 40 odd years.
