Driving to work this morning, all was normal, pottering along behing a Merc at 60mph on a single carriageway.

Then, a man with blood running down his head and a cut on his neck ran into the road, nearly got hit by the Merc (that car stopped, obviously) then ran up to my car, opened the door and dived in screaming "DRIVE DRIVE!"

Of course I wasn't going to argue with him, so I took off, round the Merc that was still pulled over (probably in shock) and headed towards Preston.

He wanted to go to a police station, but when we got nearer he said they "would be all dead" and to carry on, apparently he was fleeing some woman, but she was invisible and was travelling faster than us, and would have got there first.

He wanted us to drive on, but I pulled into the station carpark and told him I'd go and get someone. He then got out the car, looking very confused, and crossed the road and ran off, still covered in blood!

Of course I went in to report it, as I did they had a call from the RBS bank over the road saying he was in there banging on the window and saying someone was after him.

A quick chat to the officers later and I was on my way, how bizarre! :D
 
How very weird and unsettling.

The weirdest commute I had was when a person was lying in the middle of the M42 carriageway and caused lorries/cars (including mine) to swerve to avoid running the guy over - he had jumped off a bridge.
 
I was half expecting that story to turn into the Fresh Prince lyrics half way through.

I can't believe you actually did what he said!
 
I had a weird commute earlier, come off at the normal motorway junction on the way to work, 10 armed police cars zoomed past stopped on the roundabout and set-up, obviously something dodgy going on!
 
*tries to think of witty comment about escape attempt and getting in a rover, or even just a HGF joke*

I was terrified so was going pretty quick, but if it was going to blow up it would have done it at the Yorkshire Moors meet. :p

HGF is for people who have the peasant spec engine, real men have 2L bulletproof lumps!
