Wow, I hope the blue car driver got severely shafted for that.

On a recent tailgating thread iirc there were a number of posters advocating slowing right down as a way of dealing with it.

Perhaps not such a good idea after all.

I'm sure there will be a few weird PH's sticking up for the blue car along soon.

This seems very much like an insurance scam

Glad driver of the lorry had a camera to be honest!

Brilliant. Made me laugh. Would've been pretty dodgy in a car though.

8 seconds in on the opposite carriageway? Is that an Alfa Spider?

Looks like Cause And Effect, so don't tailgate as people can be unpredictable in their reaction.

Wow, just wow! The idiot in the pug should be shot. I hope the accident cost them! What kind of person stops in the outside lane like that? Tailgating or not. Self appointed police men! Urgh!

My pet hate in roadworks, sitting in the outside lane speed matching the vehicle to the left for miles with nothing in front and a line of traffic behind.

But they're in the right and everyone else is wrong because SPEED LIMIT!!! 11! smash

That doesn't look like an insurance scam otherwise he would've emergency stopped causing the lorry to hit him, not relying on someone else. to hit the (what I presume is) lorry. Looks like the Pug driver was doing it for a reaction cause he had nothing in front of him. I hope they threw the bookcase at him for that. Absolute cockshuffler.

Good enough for the Pug. Comedy gold the way the driver flicks the V's in his mirror just before impact laugh

Lorry driver didn't look particularly close to me until the Pug starting braking - it sounds like something bigger than a car ran into the back of him.

The pug driver should never be allowed to drive again.

A fantastic case for having a dash cam that. 308 driver very much got what they deserved.

What led up to this I wonder. Either way it ain't worth the abundant lack of sense. Never saw the need to "learn em some manners", life is too short and can backfire.

Bet the driver behind was paying attention.

Edit. Hope the people behind were OK.

From an insurance point of view (insurance only, ignoring the fact the blue car caused this), surely whoever went into the back of the lorry is going to get the blame for this?
