and they where coming onto the motor way and at the end of the slip road i'm sure they had no where to go themselves because it was a double slip road with traffic next to them, so having to put my brakes on and not excessively but admitted firm, prob's saved a collision, and i didn't want to be sandwiched between 2 lorries i have nightmares about that sort of thing, but all happened at once so wasn't alot i could do.

at the end of the day you should keep your braking distance and i'm quite sure i did, i mean i managed to let a car and a lorry in front of me so couldn't of been that close now could i?

if the lorry behind had done the same there would of been no problem
