I know there's a Youtube thread and I did post this in there, but I figured a lot of members might want to see this. Considering that a lot of people on here, have had it done to them.

Edit: Bloody phone likes to auto insert the same word again sometimes. Be appreciated if a mod could edit the title.

Chances are it wasn't - I'd guess the Cayenne was tanking it and couldn't slow down in time when the lorry moved out to overtake.
