So I am driving on the M1 today back from a business meeting in Leeds. Anyone who knows that route south will know there is an awful lot of 50mph, slow traffic, speed camera hell. I like everyone around me am slowly making my way south in what becomes stop start traffic. I reckon I must have averaged 40mph along the stretch. I have my window open listening to my car bounce of the concrete walls but never really topping 50mph. I go like this for miles genuinely just minding my own business and driving normally.
As we reach the end of the traffic, back into the full speed zone I look in my mirror and see a man in a new Skoda Superb, I think that's the bigger one, showing the universal W sign out his windscreen. I think that can't be for me, he has been behind me for miles and all of sudden I see this. As we speed up I pull over and sure enough he drives past giving me another sign, this time referencing someone called Richard Head (I think).
I think WTF, gesticulate as much and again he gives me the W sign. I did NOTHING bar drive. I wasn't doing anything at all, simply in traffic with everyone else thinking about a weekend relax. I was so annoyed by this, I managed to get the person next to me to take a picture of him and here it is as I drove past him.
If you see this man blow him a kiss for me will you. People are really very strange and I can't understand the bitterness of people who get so stressed up about nothing, genuinely, nothing. If I had been driving like an idiot, we all do once in a while then fair cop, but I was genuinely just going about my day pootling along.
