No Stobart drive meself. I was referring to the 'lounge' style of posting you latterly mentioned. CW clearly didn't read the article, or he wouldn't have posted the comment he did.

The accident had nothing to do with the Stobart driver.

Call me pedantic, but I think you'll find it did...

Ooh, all you skim readers need a good slap across the legs you do. In my second post I stated 'the initial acccident had nothing to do with him', referring to the Stobart driver.

\Well that Stobart truck looks pretty involved to me , too fast, too close, for the bad conditions, not paying attention?
He wasnt the start of the incident but should have avoided the end of it.

I wonder if the car had been going way too slow
I wonder if the trucks has been going too fast
I wonder if the trucks had been driving too close
OR - all three

In that fog, looking ahead was more of a priority last night.

So it was you?

According to out local BBC news:

Police believe that it was caused by a slow moving red CAR

So a car driving to the conditions is now cited as the cause of an accident? That's a new one.

If TOOOOOO slow then that would be a hazard

As everyone seems to know exactly what happened, which one of you was driving the red car then?!

I don't understand this 'plough on regardless of visibility, it's a motorway so there shouldn't be anything to hit' attitude. Motorways are not immune to queuing traffic/carriageway obstructions/other people having accidents.

If these lorries had struck the back of a queue, would we be criticising the queuing vehicles like we are the (possibly non-existent) red car driver?

Drivers come a cropper in not able to stop in the distance they can see to be clear shocker.
