You can roll a car multiple times at 40 mph
when i say 'close' i mean he could of infact been no where near the 186 .

Other cars are going to be pulling on and off the motorway, overtaking trucks and other stuff - it's pretty difficult for a person to accurately judge the speed of something travelling towards them.
this is what i was getting at with regards to him being prosecuted.
you can do 70mph on a motorway here and still get done for driving without due care.

tbf, it doesnt specify it was doing 186, just says that it was close to it...
also i imagine travelling at that speed you wouldnt have a great deal of time to brake if someone pulls out on you, you'd be on top of them before you knew it also for the car to roll over 'multiple times' i imagine he was doing 'close' to 180ish.
you say that but i bet the car that pulled out was doing 100+ mph
