Huh, I’ve never heard “Olympics swimming pool” used to measure something that isn’t liquid. Isn’t the proper freedom unit of length measured in “football fields”?
Speed limits can be useful to reduce accidents (though I do think they’re also often used to line the state’s pockets, especially on highways) but the fundamental responsibility is on the driver to drive at an appropriate speed for the context and conditions.
If you can’t stop in time to avoid an accident such as a bus gently stopping, the speed limit is totally irrelevant – it’s on the driver to be alert and in control.
Nothing to do with too close, there’s plenty of distance. They just didn’t stop.
He’s was following too closely fir not paying attention
Sounds like they need to fire their investigators.
There’s was an Olympics swimming pool worth of distance between them. The driver was clearly playing with their phone, not looking out the windscreen.

How about a compromise? You use the metric system, km in specific; BUT, you get to call them “clicks” so you sound like you are in the military?
(j/k I’m also American and I only use km for running distances, not driving distances.)
Yeah. The driver of the truck wasn’t paying attention.
Yeah didn’t even attempt to swerve
And was going way too fast.

40, according to Google Maps.
Which is what that truck looks to be going.
When your intake valves are clogged with lunchables and protractors, yeah…you’re too close.
Protractors? That must be a typo, right?
You never used protractors in math class?
