This vehicle sees a safe opportunity and commences to overtake. Halfway through this manoeuvre a third vehicle travelling behind the overtaking one, gets impatient and thinks they can overtake the lot by hitting the dirt and speeding. When the third speeding vehicle attempts to take up a position at the head of the pack, he loses it and heads for the hills. How can that be the fault of the two leading vehicles or railway crossings?

with regard to his comments about rail crossings, some people need to deflect to a different topic to deflect from the error they made, it is just the way some people try to make themselves look intelligent, and what is worse no amount of common or logical sense will change their views

That's perfectly true.

Bloody well would see it, especially in the UK from European truck drivers.


There is only one person at fault here and they are driving a white Falcon, to suggest anything else is well out of line.
