Good to hear you managed to stop short -- then there's the worry that those behind manage too !!!!

TBH I never drive anywhere I don't have to on BH weekends. 3 hours on the mway going nowhere ain't my idea of fun  Sad

I think we've all had to anchor up in a white knuckle sweat a few times. They stop pretty quick for nearly 2 tonne of car.

I know the feeling... I had to stop rather quickly on the M25 yesterday. Full flowing 80 MPH to stationary very swiftly Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!
