      I feel like it actually has inspired Transit van drivers to do that on non dual carriageways when people are already at the speed limit. It’s happened to me serval times to and from work and though I didn’t have that laser for exact gap, if I had to brake suddenly because of a sudden traffic light change etc they’d hit which is part of why I have a dash cam

    3. If you want to carry an entire house at the cost of speed go with May's van
