I know the video looks that way but it's not true!

I've watched it back a couple of times or 10, and you can hear the bang as it goes.

I also thought, what on earth is the car ahead doing, stopping to let a car out of a side road ffs, but thank God he did cos otherwise the failure probably would have occurred at the next junction with no escape route.

It's also about the only time I've needed to pass a car without there being a suicidal scooter on my right. Not enough time for mirror-signal-manoeuvre lol.

I think I've used up my ration of luck for the time being. I won a lucky dip lottery ticket last Saturday and I was convinced it was gonna win me something on the Wednesday draw, but alas no luck left. Not that I'm complaining!
