And yes, Chris is probably a good enough driver where nannies don’t help.

point one where you can see another car. All were closed, forensics already said that it was neither his fault neither he was speeding, it's mid corner in the winter in England, on a rwd car, you are bound to not go fast, sideways maybe, but not fast.
the only problem he has now is a new touring.

Just like I thought, he encountered the truck after a blind corner. Not much he could have done. I'll say this, given his driving experience, I'd trust being in a car with Chris over 90% of drivers out on the road today! Just because he drifts cars on a track/circuit does not mean he does so on public roads...jeez!!
Lucky he didn't kill someone.
The guy in the truck will simply report he was doing a legal turn and that the driver of the Porsche failed to stop in time. Guaranteed open and shut.
Harris drives like a pratt on British public roads - there are endless YouTube videos that attest to this. I'm surprised a number of the British you tube testers and EVO in particular haven't been hauled up.

He ran into another vehicle - he was going to fast in the conditions and was unable to stop.

Or, far more likely, the truck driver was making an illegal three point turn and Harris is in the right. Anyone who drives in the mountains around here has come up upon an idiot making a k turn mid corner or just at the exit of a corner. It’s pretty likely based on what’s been disclosed so far that the truck driver made an illegal turn too close to a corner.

If rather than a truckman was a teenager on his first time bike??
Anyone that drives on the street without being able to stop the car in time is an idiot not aware of his limits
we have tracks for that kind of driving

It's pretty straight forward - in a place like wales you have to anticipate e.g. sheep, cattle, tractors, cyclists, hikers, caravans, people turning to execute a three point turn. The safety systems are immaterial if you're driving too quickly for the conditions and the type of traffic a road carries.
All I can say is, lucky for him it wasn't a cyclist or a hiker.
