Ahh another penis. You'll be glad to know I've had my C+E licence since I was 21. 30 tonnes, meh another lightweight.
I would agree. You didn't leave a big enough gap, possibly from being distracted i.e talking on the phone.

Zoobeef, stop posting your making yourself look a complete tt.
Well I am not the only one who has studied the video which comes over clear as lack of attention to the road ahead and being distracted on the phone in poor weather - definite fail a test.
Another squaddie that has all the gear and no idea about driving.
Have pulled many from ditches in their cars and company vehicles years ago and spent 3 years instructing heavy goods a long time ago
Some of the skills or lack of by forces trained drivers is quite shocking.

Anyway if your passing through Swindon or Tidworth give me a shout and will also be found at
Grundon EFW Lakeside sometimes - your call

Nice editing of someone else's post wink

I'm not a squaddie, I like your use of military terms, does it make you feel like one of them?
I give up on the video now. Just make sure if someone hits you in the future you don't blame them, it's your fault.

I wasn't the one that wanted to meet up, I just though there would be nice because once you had finished flexing your chest you could take the family round the tank museum. Wouldn't have been a wasted trip then.

Have a nice bank holiday.

Am I the only one who noticed that the car that was pushed into Zoobeefs - actually pushed Zoobeefs car closer to the Audi in front.

In other words there was a bigger distance between Zoobeef and the Audi when Zoobeef stopped - but this distance decreased when the car BEHIND Zoobeef was pushed into Zoobeefs car.

Yet inspite of this - unless ive got it all wrong - Zoobeef still didn't hit the Audi.

What did I miss???

Enjoy the rest of your holiday too, pissing down here so drive carefully esp in the wet and remember the 4 sec rule, even more if your driving a large vehicle and yes I know how frustrating it is as I now own and operate some heavy stuff myself.
You leave a safe distance and some twunt pulls into it when your braking.

It was only an observation on the content of the video
Anyway at least you were not injured
Keep the Greasy side down and Shiney side up smile
If we meet up maybe share some tea and vehicle banter !

There's some fking arsewipes in here.

Guy stops without hitting car in front. Guy behind him stops without hitting him. Guy behind that stops without hitting him. Guy behind the last one causes a shunt.

Guy that stops cleanly somewhere in the middle is somehow responsible?

The actual fk. Some people really are on drugs.

I'm not sure that anyone is blaming zoo for the prang. What people are saying is that if zoo had driven differently, it might have avoided a prang - as he would have been avoiding being part of the concertina in the first place.

Cant believe this ended up being a micro-analysis of a totally unrelated incident.

Oh wait this is PH - of course I can. Mon Dieu.

Do you drive a Vauxhall Corsa and was this on the M5 near Bristol? Because the lorry driver told me a different story
