    So much for innocent until proven guilty then, or is that only for terrorists?

    The average Jo is the person who nowadays feel that it is better to take footage of an incident and run off to the media...so that the media can then sensationalise it...and hold on-air armchair committees debating the incident.

    The un-average Jo would probably report it to Police and let them do their job...and let the justice system follow due course.

    But of course, that doesn't sell 'bums on seats' at tv-ratings time.

    I agree that it doesn't tell the whole story But it does show a truck running another road user off the road and a double white line only meters in front of the two trucks.
    Can you give us a reasonable scenario where what is happening could be called safe and lawful ?

    Read my previous reply, there are dozens of reasons why it happened, I've only cited a few. Nowhere have I said it was legal or safe.

    Can I have a show of hands of all the people who have never made a mistake or broken a traffic rule, deliberately or inadvertently?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
