So its Friday 6am in the morning, I'm on the M56 heading across to the M6, over taking the odd car, then the overheads show incident ahead and warn of lane closure so slow down as I'm passing a car in lane 1 as the red cross is showing in lane 3, I remember my highway code, do not pass a red cross as that means that lane is closed (usually for a good reason)
As I'm looking to move back into lane 1, a young lady (I used several different expressions later) in a golf comes level with me in lane 3 at the second red cross showing overhead, as I'm thinking what are you doing?... I spot the donorcycle ahead lying in the middle of lane 3 .....ummm this isn't going to end well, I hit the brakes hard as she spots the motorcycle and decides to brake and change lanes.... I'm not sure if were talking inches or millimetres as my heart was in my mouth... lucky for me the car in lane 1 had also slowed and I was able to take avoiding action.
What goes thro some peoples heads.....passing 2 red crosses at around 70 and then taking avoiding action that almost causes a second accident :fail
I was tempted to give chase, but then thought don't bother two wrongs don't make a right, a few deep breaths and carry on. In hindsight I should have just followed got her Reg and reported her to the Police.
Thankfully the rider was on the hard shoulder with a couple of cars that had pulled over..... at least I think it was the rider, I was a little busy at the time!
