Thought I would share this afternoon!!

Driving back from Castle Vale in Birmingham (dont ask) I joined the M6 South, immediatly a BMW 5 series late 08/09 plate blew a rear tyre in the outside lane and swerved across to the hard shoulder with bits of tyre, bits of alloy rim and general scensoredt flying everywhere, said to the wife 'I bet hes havinf a bad day'.

Shortly after decided to go for lunch close to Knowle just off M42, swept around a bend on the A41 to be presented with a motorbike smashed up in the middle of the road, VW Golf (I think) with its back caved in and the motorcyclist lying on the grass verge. Lots of people attending to the motorcyclist so edged past the bike (which had been dragged across the road by the people from the VW despite being told the BIB owuld be cross) and went for a thankful pint.

By gosh I didnt 'alf drive slow and careful after that remembering thngs tend to come in threes.

BTW was in daily driver not Gerald
