I’d let it pass.
Definitely not the moment to escalate the road rage
Brake check to remind him of safety distance
Curious how fast they were actually going
As it’s top speed is 42 mph, I suspect they had it going flat-out.
I paid for 42mph of speedometer, imma use 42 mph of speedometer.
Imma see if it’ll flip when I hit 50!
Too close for comfort. I don’t know what the braking distance is but I doubt 60-70 tons of steel at up to 70 km/h are that easily stopped. If that truck had to suddenly do an emergency brake, then the tank would probably just roll over & flatten it, with everyone in and on it.

If the crew reacts in time and really wants to stop, they can.
Fucking balls of steel.
I don’t know what the braking distance is
At 70km/h, 20.6 metres. For ordinary cars it’s ~50m.
In a nutshell, a tracked vehicle has quite a bit more contact area with the ground, it’s also kind of hard to lift the rear wheels up so you can apply a lot of break force before you start to skid etc. And Leos have the hardware to actually do that, there’s a retarder in the drive train and additional disc brakes.
Wow, that’s almost a full G of acceleration in a heavily armoured vehicle. Tracks are crazy. I wonder how hot the brake pads get in the process.
Must. go. faster.
