One case from when things such as dash cams were not around was when a
driver braked suddenly for a pheasant and was rear ended. The driver who
braked was held 100% responsible, other case have apportioned percentages
of blame to the lead vehicle so your statement that €œ it their fault and
their fault only €œ applying to the rear driver is wrong and always has
been. It has just been very difficult to prove otherwise up till now, the
dashcam is changing that and in many cases where the rear ending driver
would previously have carried all the can the lead driver who has caused
it may not get off completely Scott free.

Why do small shops in little side roads use huge artics to deliver stock?

Because thats all their supplier uses truck wise.

A couple of days ago, this huge back side of an enormous lorry suddenly
appeared in front of me from behind a hedge backing across a fairly main
road. I slammed on the brakes. The driver behind me who, because of the
angles would have seen the artic much later, just stopped in time.

The lorry driver had to back for lack of turning space. I don't think they
carry a mate to help, but could be wrong.

You're not, they arent going to pay for two wages.

It was a One Stop Shop lorry. I assume there is no irony in the name.
