Because the self driving car was at a sensible distance from the

cars in front. I would easily have seen and stopped in time because
that's the way I always drive, ie; a sensible gap.

No, the point is it saw something the driver couldn't have.

And people like you make roads hold half the number of cars. Mind you,
you're useful when I need as space to pull into.

That is one of the many reasons to have sufficient space between moving
vehicles.

No it isn't. If nobody left space, there would naturally be larger spaces elsewhere.

No, YOU don't drive in the UK, if your reactions and predictions are so poor you need a huge space, you are not fit to drive. I leave a 1 second gap if I'm feeling lazy, normally a half second gap, and a quarter if the driver in front is irritating me.

This sort of thing can happen when you drive on the wrong side of the road.

I've driven on holiday in France several times, and didn't even have to think about it. It's just like shaving in a mirror, you don't keep moving your hand the wrong way.

I've been busy today, booted up computer and read some of your usual
inane/insane trolling ****.
Your mental problems are getting worse Mr Hucker. Even the diet of pain
killers, booze and chocolate is not working.
You will be institutionalised within the next ten years. As aways you will
cost the nation even more money.
No life, no woman, no money, no job, no hope and no future.
Please tell us of your hopes, your goals and aspirations for 2017 Mr Hucker.
Come along now. You are only 41 years of age and you have this Degree.

Put it this way, I wouldn't swap my life for yours.

A devout Muslim entered a black cab in London. He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because as decreed by his religious teaching, he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel.
The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door.
The Arab asked him, "What are you doing?"
The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so **** off and wait for a camel!!"
