I ssee it in my minds eye all the time where cars drive right up the arse of another car in the fast lane and another does it behind that car and so on.

I dont feel much sympathy if the bloke in fron thas to suddenly put his foot on the brake to even slow down.

Think about that at 70 to 80 mph speeds

More likely 100 mph, I have driven widely on German Autobahnen and it can be a bit frightening, especially in a Fiesta in the fast lane...
