The amount of people I've heard saying the same thing or similar, that the actions of truckers caused them to brake, causing 'near misses' or accidents ...... not good and braking is a very natural reflect that's incredibly difficult to avoid doing, and in this weather, the slightest touch on the brakes is enough to cause all sorts of problems.
