Come on, Darwin, you've work to do. :o
Thinking about, lifting of hgv speed and lane restrictions would have soon sorted that out :-\

To the detriment of anyone wanting to exceed 56MPH. ;)

Not letting daft people get driving licenses in the first place, on the other hand... :y

A valid point, but a truck with 750-800 bhp and reasonable gearing, (ie not geared to 60mph max with a 56mph limiter), should be perfectly capable of cruising at 90 all day long :y
It's implied that she had a licence but that doesn't seem to deter some drivers :-\

...should be perfectly capable of cruising at 90 all day long :y.

.. but stopping within the same postcode district as when the brakes were applied? 1/2mv2 gets a bit scary at times within the performance envelope of an Omega let alone with all that additional weight.

I'm afraid a mate of mine (RIP) was a victim of a late braking HGV, as were the families in the cars both in front of and behind him. :'(

No, Darwin needs to come up with a better plan.

Our feet are smaller so we can get closer to the cooker, which makes them too small to operate vehicles.! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

That's impressive. The cab view really looks like it's not going to end well, but not so.

The V70 driver clearly wasn't too sure either... a good example of technology being thoughtfully applied 8)
