"HGV's slipstreaming? "
I saw quite a few heading to North Tyneside on Sunday to get to the docks. Not too bad coming back but M62 had a problem but I knew about it and went over the Woodhead to Stockport.

looks that way, my hgv instructor told me to never ever drive so close that you cannot stop in distance you can see to be clear, but a lot of drivers are on cruise control and bunch up , they know they shouldn`t do it, and 9 times out of 10 get away with it, no wonder the rest of us lorry drivers get a bad press and are hated by car drivers.
But i`m a car driver when i get out of my lorry and go home, i feel sorry for the families of those concerned.

Accidents don`t just happen, they are CAUSED!!!

HGV's slipstreaming?
I don't think its that straightforward. From the look of the small picture in todays Daily Mirror I would hazard a guess that the K&M truck was broken down on the hard shoulder and the Heisterkamp truck has managed to whack it up the backside.
Don't forget that this accident happened at the Catthorpe Interchange where some lanes go off to the M6 and some lanes continue to be the M1. Maybe the Heisterkamp truck moved too far over and onto the hard shoulder?

Accidents there all the time. Drivers seem unable to cope with the fact that one motorway merges with another.
Suggest an IQ test with the drivers test.

But they are not even merging at that point, this was where the motorways seperate.
