I recall a couple years ago after the Burnley Tunnel disaster there was a studio debate on TV involving truck and passenger car drivers.
A common complaint amongst the passenger car drivers was being tailgated by trucks.
Amazingly the truck drivers (2 or 3 of them if I recall correctly) justified tailgating on the basis that since their rigs were higher than the car in front of them they would be able to anticipate potential pile ups faster and react accordingly.
:screwy :
Lets hope this is not a common attitude and the station specifically selected these meatheads to fuel the ratings.
