There are other factors like taking anti-depressants and smoking heroine. This was the Pets at Home driver that hit the broken down Stobart:

I’m not sticking up for tailgaters, far from it as that’s both dangerous and unprofessional, we agree on that. But I do reserve the right to “stick up” for a fellow driver who’s laying in a hospital, and who knows if it’s a ward or a cold store, than post comments on tailgating. Those comments have a time and a place for debate, and it’s not really on a thread about an individual accident. Just my opinion though

Well I am glad of that. Listen I have every sympathy for anyone involved in a road accident especially when it is not their fault. I am not having a go at any driver lying in hospital as you seem to think I am merely saying you would think drivers would learn from the carnage that is caused by such dangerous drivers but everyday you see them nose to tail until the unexpected happens.
Just my opinion though.
DRIVER of occado escaped with broken foot and is getting done for dangerous driving he ploughed into rear of flatbed which has offside rear quarter damage only on trailer both trailers and cabs in my yard taking up valuable space ive had too shunt mine about abit today and im late home 
Well that’s 1 less Benz axor to worry about:grin:
nodding donkey:
Brake failure is no excuse. Gears to slow…
Wot? - With most of us driving automatics these days?
I passed this at 4.30 yesterday morning , the driver of the accado motor is lucky to be alive , it was a bit of a mess
I’ve said this before but feel it is justified in this post to say again:
Accidents happen to other people!
You are other people to everyone else!
Drive careful out there - there is always tomorrow. The only URGENT load is a body part or blood and I don’t think many of us carry either 
The only URGENT load is a body part or blood
Then let the blue light boys deliver that 
No load is that important to justify putting yours & other folks lives at risk , as a wise old Irishman once told me " when god made time he made plenty of it "
