    Please, brake check is never the problem unless someone whips in front of you and slams the brakes. The correct term is following too close.

    A green Volvo-yes! If its white or red, not so much.
    On a high note,if the driver needs a new Volvo he doesn’t have to go far,the Dublin plant is only about a 10 minute drive up I-81 north!! lol

    I'm not surprised that anyone gets involved in such wrecks: Those who would dare perform the corrective maneuver consistently (preemptive speed reduction) tend to draw out significantly more aggression on the road, in addition to the occasional extended period of driving at speeds well under the legal limit.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    Do wiggle wagons giggle while they wiggle, and will there be a paternity test?

    Find out on the next Geraldo! :iconbiggrin:
