Yes I read about this but surely motorists should have safe stopping distances. One person went into the back of me because she didn't leave enough space in a queue! I see it all the time.

I feel safer with learner drivers than I do with motorist who have actually passed their tests! At least with a learner, you have an expert, next to that person who will help out when they do something stupid.
