What i cant work out is the fact, they were travelling from Hythe in Kent…to a cinema god knows where…i would blame the local chamber of commerce for not having a cinema more local.i wonder if they got to see a different film to the one on their cam…glad they were not injured though.
Like one of them new fangled cinemas where your seat bounces about all over the place. 
I’m glad they’re ok too.

Bluey Circles:
at the beginning of the vid she (do we know it is a she?) is doing 64 and gradually slows to 52 just before impact. I suspect from the wide angle lens she is much closer to the truck in front than it looks, she is quite rightly keeping a reasonable distance so when the opportunity arises she can accelerate back up to speed and pass the the lorry in front. I don’t think it should be up to her to recognise the lorry she is overtaking is a south paw and as such is more dangerous, she probably thought to herself the person driving the lorry was a professional at the top of his game and should be safe alongside. Yes driving alongside of a tractor is not a good place to be, but what were her options, driving up the chuff of the lorry in front would have been even worse driving. 9/10 for her, 0/10 for the trucker.Well put.
Spot on fella ,
`she’ could not have initiated a further lane change safely in time due to the car that was considerably approaching behind and came past in the outside right lane.
advertising ' type suggestions to it. im sure there is a list. The main thing is, they survived , albeit battered and bruised. MSM /PSLM - LADALook
Assess

Act
,#Note# yes, i know the driving test standard hazard routine one is MSM/PSL 
I added the extra Mirror one for more safety check -
To say she never had a option is not true. She could have moved out into lane 3 after the van had passed if she had maintained 70mph.
