Cant believe the car following was so stupid as to follow that closely.
I agree that the tanker was most likely empty, but if it wasn't and the tanker driver lost control that would "goodbye brains" for those following at that range if it caught alight.

looks like another truck behind it (higher vantage point). I would say it was carrying something as his Haz chem plates are still on show either that or he was too lazy to turn them around. regardless of it being empty or not if that rolled the guy behind would most likely hit it anyway so either way they are all dead!

Not as difficult as you think, the haz plates are on because the front part is full and the trailer is empty so much lighter and tbh it would be difficult to slide it too far, the much heavier wagon would just keep pulling it , I often do it on the M1 on my way home

Having seen this on another forum and a HGV driver replying to say its not as hard as you would think and not as difficult to control as you would think.

It may well be,I have never tried it. But is it fair to alarm other drivers while doing it, and just what is the point anyway?
We all might as well go out and do a bit of drifting all over the place!
