  10. Seen many people trying to pass AFV's in convoy and having to pull into the safety gaps thus causing the vehs to brake. On one ex in Germany escorting a convoy of 432s a beetle was leap frogging between them swerved in between 2 slamming on his brakes to avoid rearending the 432 in front, but forgetting the 432 behind, this one ran over the top of the beetle as it was unable to stop in time.
