Looks like a shiny new Antos too

I guess it’s possible that the propane man was already stationary behind the concrete pipe driver but was shunted from behind by the ND curtain into the concrete trailer? Impact behind Mr Gas looks far more significant than the impact at the front (to my untrained eyes). Who knows? May be 3 P45s, may be 2 or less. I suspect that given the venue it will all have been caught on camera…

I passed this on the same side just after it happened there was another lorry stopped just ahead of the flat bed, a tanker with one of them boxes just behind the tank but the only damage that seamed to be to that was a bit of a dent on the back of the box. The red Renault look a right mess though

I find it shocking how common it is for truck drivers to tailgate these days. See it over and over again everyday

Yeah 3 of Idiotlink’s finest came past me today and the rear 2 were about 10 yards away from the one in front. Imagine that phone call back to base when it goes wrong :open_mouth:

Could be worse, it could have been four planks in a line :open_mouth:

I’m counting four ?

4 trucks but only 3 bumped into the one in front

propane man is on his way from lane 2 into 1 behind the flat bed, perhaps he stopped behind him, then rammed by the vehicle behind like you say

There’s a time & a place but it’s rare, I may do it if there’s profit in it for me but 99% of the time their just isn’t.

I’m not so sure they’ll,get a p45 ,our driver who ran into the back of truck on m1 was just put through retraining and is now back too work,and that was after apx a month before he got done for doing 40 ish mph on a1 whilst weaving from lane 1-2, think it was careless driving ,they think ( know) the 40 mph was dragging the job out ,but his English ain’t the best so haven’t worked outbthevweaving from lane too lane :unamused: :unamused: .
