Not good, how often do vehicles do this sort of thing? You see it time and time again on those police camera shows, so its not like its a one of freak event.
RIP Mark.
Stay safe Pete!

RIP Mark

Last motorway breakdown (daughters car puncture on the M6) I went to, I saw her position on the hard shoulder and the fact the tyre was already knackered and took the decision to drive it the 500 yards off the motorway to change the tyre.

I have changed tyres etc on the hard shoulder and it is honestly frightening. People who deal with motorway breakdowns on a daily basis must have seen so many near misses that they wonder if this one will be their last whenever they stop to help others. I seem to recall that the hard shoulder is statistically the most dangerous section of the motorway. Stupid that what should be a refuge should turn out to be the lane for the incompetent and dangerous.

RIP Dude.

Heard this on the news this morning, I see lorry drivers drift half into the hard shoulder regulary for some reason.

Was the lorry driver foreign by any chance? Just lately I keep hearing about more and more accidents with foreign drivers.

See one a few weeks ago on helicopter heroes, French bloke on the wrong side of the road, A road in Yorkshire somewhere, hit a biker head on.
