Driving along the M62, find a car perched in the middle of the crash barrier – the type made of metal wire and stumps.
The petrol tank area was squarely on the top of the stump.
Stopped next to the car, the only motorist bothered to stop, and check the condition of the driver – everyone just kept going.
Turns out she had to brake for a van cutting her up, and from 60 to 0 in a couple of seconds and she skidded all over the motorway.
Took a judgement call and suggested she got out of the car due to the risk of a fuel leak. Thankfully she was walking away completely unscathed.
A van driver going past yells ‘Oh, well done’ – at this point she burst into tears, very understandably.
Really does make you think when you not just see this as you go past, but when you see the impact wreckless driving had on people.
Hence sat in the office with a jumper on, still trying to get warm!
