Tipper & Classic Car Crash M23

The car or horseless carriage was clearly a veteran and no a classic. Why are we being fed this fake news.?

Hyh:
Minimum speed on a motorway is 45mph from memory. Car could do 35 max supposedly but could have been doing a whole lot less
Driver deviated from the official and checked route - Those routes exist for a reason

Did driver’s age or eyesight have anything to do with it ?
Did driver’s abilities and awareness have anything to do with it ?

Driver certainly deserves a big portion of blame for putting himself and his wife in that position in the first place

Reserving judgement on the tipper driver until video footage comes to light. I would expect much more damage if the tipper had simply gone over the car, suggesting tipper had taken averting action to try and prevent this.

There is NO minimum speed on UK motoways! I would suggest not judging anyone until the facts are published.

Exactly

trevHCS:
Very easy even for someone in a modern vehicle at std speeds, but likely terrifying in a car like that especially around London. Hopefully he didn’t see it coming behind.

He wouldnt have seen anything, there are no mirrors on the old car.

He should have seen it full on, I’m led to believe he was going the wrong way.
