How do 130 cars crash unless they are driving without care, at the right speed for the conditions, not paying attention or some such? Sure some can just be "Caught up in it" but I suspect there's a core of bad driving at fault here. (maybe the proof is the 2 vehicles at the front of the accident are a white van and a rep mobile?)

Big pile up down Kent way, A249 Sheppey crossing in Kent. 130 vehicles, I didn't think this was the time of year for heavy fogs, but obviously I'm wrong.

Catch up Roger already had that thread started by Bibs

 

Interestingly, my first thought was has Bibs been out in a Lotus again? hehe.

They're all being sent on a 'don't be a knob and drive fast in the fog' course. Useful.

Any idea what the trigger incident was for them all to then subsequently bump into?

Ooh nasty!

It is the innocent who are in the wrong place at the wrong time I feel for like child passengers, maybe part of the cause is those annoying middle lane 50 mph drivers.

It is everyone's worst nightmare but at least by the look of it nothing caught fire as being trapped with this happening close by would be horrific!

There's a thing called "seeing your stopping distance". It doesn't strike me as a difficult concept. Is it just me?

At least that's their problem, not yours...
