Motorway slip roads above ground
The day after Boxing Day, travelling south from the Dartford crossing, the slip from the M25 onto M25 going west, 8.00pm ish.
65mph on outside lane, not in a S2000. It should be super safe, it should be nowhere close to the edge. Just passing an Audi, the back slips out, girlfriend is on her mobile and oblivious to our sideways momentum. Opposite lock is applied, we just about stay within our lane and avoid the Audi. 200 yards down the road are two cars in the arnco!
Remember peeps that the road freezes faster on bridges than it does on the road.
Girlfriend asks 5 mins later what I was saying 5 mins ago. At least she trusts my driving.
