I have never thought about this before today and I made a right idiot of myself!

After having my bike serviced today I was in a bit of a rush to get home. I came accross a lot of slow moving trafic a couple of miles from home just before coming from the country lanes into town. I knew that in this area there had been loads of road works for a while but its not a road that I often use. The trafic was stopping and starting or very slow for a fair distance. I had a look and noticed it was safe to filter through. So I did steady as normal leaving the trafic plenty of room. Steady away I got round most of the trafic and noticed a decent sized gap ahead of the next batch of cars. Then I noticed the last few cars in front of me were funeral cars! I had only gone and filtered through a funeral procession!

What a fool I am! I felt a right idiot and its totally against my normal nature! I normally slow right down and give way to a funeral procession (the local crem is on my daily drive).

My appologies and respect to the family and friends of the poor person who has sadly passed away.

I am sharing this story on here so no one else makes the same stupid mistake!
