Also, despite what you might think, RTC's involving lorries tend to result in serious injuries for the driver due to the position of the steering wheel and the lack of a front crumple zone that most cars have.
You would think they would observe the stopping distance rules then rather trying to "streamline" the wagon in front within a few feet - bloody stupid and dangerous for all on the motorway - never seen one pulled up by the police for it though (mind you it's been a while since I've seen a traffic cop anyway
)
Ossy1 - Points about the logistics of moving a car as opposed to a lorry is a very valid point, thanks.
