On the way back from work I overtook on the urban dual carriage way in Dumbarton and the car then in front of me (a 51 plate fiesta) rear wheel was "wobbling" and it looked as if I were to come off. I flashed my headlights repeatedly @ the car and tooted the horn but could not get the...

Driving home last night I was on a dual carriageway approaching the M62 junction in Huddersfield. The lanes are pretty narrow and there are always loads of parked cars with just a wheel left on the road in the left lane. I was on the left with a car in front of me and a truck in front of him...
