Hi guys I m sure we ve all had close calls on the road over the years I know I have but last Monday at 10 pm on the M6 southbound I came within a whisker of possible death or at the very least life changing injuries . Even at that time there is a bit of traffic I had just joined at J 9 and passed a big truck so was in the middle lane cruising at 65 and saw a car well ahead indicating to go left - no worries he s changing lanes or so I thought but no this idiot had stopped in the middle lane in order to cut across to the M5 slip road .By the time I realised he was stationary it was too late to hit the brakes esp as the road was wet ,I had seconds to quickly check wing mirror for any car in the fast lane and I somehow managed to swerve around him - I swear I must have missed him by inches at that speed it would have been catastrophic - I did nt even have time to blast the horn I wish I had a dash cam because I would have reported it - what type of idiot thinks its ok to stop on a MW in order to not miss their exit - so I ve actually been having flash backs and I really dont know how I missed him I must have a guardian angel .
Anyone else have any near death road stories to share - just to add I was nt in my QP I was driving a Ford Connect van not known for their handling
