Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

The thing about the 2 second rule(which becomes the 6 second rule if you're on the M62 going over Saddleworth Moor and it starts to piss down) is that when you get at least 2 seconds behind someone you create quite a gap. Two seconds at 70mph is just over 200ft. In that situation, it is a certainty that someone will overtake and pull into that space.
Mind you, I've seen cars change lanes into a gap between two cars I wouldn't like to reverse park into.

2 second ruleYeah and if we all obeyed that piece of advice there would be two large heaps of scrap cars - one at Lands End and the other at John O' Groats

That isone harsh stretch of road in bad weather, nearly as bad as the single track road from Huddersfield to Rochdale you can see off to the left. Try negotiating that bastard in thick fog...
