What don't these Muppet's get?......less speed and more distance!!!

People who have these muckle 4x4's must own a white van too, after having been ran into at the rear, it's no laughing matter and it's some bang BTW!......I tap on the brake lights or even put on the hazard lights now if I get folk trying to share my petrol, but your right, anything short of an air brake (parachute), then we're all in the same boat when it's comes to stopping!

rant over!
