the 2 trucks, is 1 truck merging to the outside lane whilst the truck that was speeding up that lane already collects the merging one.

it appears last second behind the merger, then collects his rear, flips him round and takes out the side of him, making it look like a T intersection hit.

Yeah. People seem to go silly in tunnels. One day in the Polly Pipe (The Graham Farmer Freeway Tunnel) I was followed by a car at a safe distance into it, dangerously tailgated, (almost slipstreamed) the whole way through it and then he dropped back to a safe distance after the tunnel. I was so angry. I considered that he had deliberately endangered my life. Why? Who knows?
