Spot on! Yes only total prats tailgate and if you get caught driving a artic about 4 foot off someone bumper you should have your license taken off you.

I had one of turners top drivers follow me through some roadworks not long back and it was single lane 40mph , I was in my car doing 40 and he drove a inch off my arse with his headlights on full, what a moron. It’s a shame I liked my car or I would have braked checked him

Really■■? When did 2 wrongs make a right?
Is the action you’ve just described a very real, possible, factor in the incident this thread is about?

I don’t think a brake check would have caused sufficient speed differential to cause the finishing difference between the two vehicles.

Possibly tailgating or some sort of lack of vision of a stationary or slow moving minibus, but no arrests reported.
