Did you just juxtapose my two posts to imply that sleep-driving on the M6 is an extreme sport, or what?
Yes, yes, careless of me I know - but we could suggest it as one.
Have you ever, honestly, felt like you could murder someone, and played it out in your mind - literally being so pissed off with someone you could kill them there and then.
I saw something like that on the M4 at Newport one sunny morn (they do happen even in Newport)... little white car being pushed along sideways by a Tesco truck... when the truck put its brakes on the white car shot across the road & hit the crashbarrier on the central reservation...
Bloody hell!
That's the kind of thing I meant - not the tunnel stuff... I've had a few of those - most recently when I stepped out to cross the road and a bike doing well over 100 missed me by about 2 inches - no headlight, didn't hear or see it. Swore for about 10min.
I had a few scary moment son the bike. Eventually I lost my bottle. It wasn't the cars pulling out in front of me or the pedestrians walking out. In the end it was something trivial that I hadn't spotted, like a parked car with someone in the driver's seat and I forgot to leave it a wide berth.
I decided I had had enough of compensating for other people and knowing that one day I would miss something and die a grizzly death.
So that was that.
Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
