Tailgating Accidents Must Be Stopped!
I do not understand this. This may be an attempt to run another driver off the road in order to rob that person. If you suspect that that might be the case when someone is tailgating you, then take the next highway exit and drive to the police or sheriff's department. If unable to do that, call 911 on your cell phone and report the tailgater, along with the make, model, color, and license plate number of the vehicle behind you. If you have a service like ONSTAR, use that to make the report. If the other driver is a law enforcement officer himself, he would probably flash a warning light of some sort and/or siren and have his badge out in the open as he approaches our car. If not, you can always drive off, call 911, report the vehicle and have the officer on the line check to see of the other driver is actually a law enforcement officer.
It's funny how many people reading this lease thread suggest that you buy the LR2 if you think the lease price is too high. Funny 1st because this is a lease forum so advice would pertain to leases, that's why it's a lease forum, so people can learn how to get a good lease deal. People who lease usually have a good reason to lease and a good reason not to buy. Funny 2nd, because buying an LR2 results in a far higher monthly payment even if stretched over 5 years. Suggesting people buy the car is not a solution to a super high lease price. Telling Land Rover "I'm cancelling the deal because your lease is too high" is the smartest thing you can do. If enough people walk away from the car Land Rover may lower the lease price dramatically (doubtful). They have always been the kind of dealer that tests the market by starting pricing as high as they can; it's one of the tactics of exclusivity.
There are aspects of the Rover case which could make it a one-off. The unions聮 strategy of launching litigation in order to discourage an unwelcome bidder might have misfired badly if no other bidder had emerged, and the company had finally failed. There was a perception that Rover would not, ultimately, be broken up, partly because of the bad publicity which this would have engendered for BMW, and also because of the adverse political ramifications of such a development. This may have lent more credibility to the unions聮 threats than would otherwise have been possible. On the other hand, there was no guarantee that the company would not fail, and its demise was widely predicted at several stages of the negotiation process. Article 4a of the Acquired Rights Directive was introduced in 1998 as part of a wider attempt at liberalisation of its provisions. As we have seen, Rover was not a situation of insolvency as such.
