Re: Gaming the system
They're obviously not using it in the UK judging by the behaviour of their drivers that I've witnessed Perhaps they are, "If the device moves it counts against you" I have noticed recently they do not stop at junctions (like 90% of everyone lately) they roll out and proceed up the road (s...

Re: Driving in the dark
The scary thing is the DfT are seriously looking at this as an option. On motorways lorries already use tailgating to save fuel. I can't see the "improve safety" aspect of this. Lorries are getting longer already making overtaking quite an undertaking (scuse pun). This idea really needs ni...
