So there I am driving the other half to the station this morning, and traffic is a nightmare. Some genius seems to have changed the timings on some traffic lights meaning that there are cars backed up for miles, and everyone seems to have decided it was a good idea to drive around the station at that time of day.
Now I don't have all the time in the world, unfortunately. I have to be in work by 08:15 while the other half wants dropping off around 08:00. Usually this isn't a problem but today... well it just wasn't going to happen.
So anyway, after I've dropped her off I'm waiting to turn out of a side road... I can't go anywhere as the traffic is all backed up, but I'm at the front of the queue to get out of this road... the traffic starts to move, and I can see my freedom...
There's a car coming from my right, but it's turning left so I'm ok, I pull out... oh £$%& there's another car behind it that's not turning.
It was one of those deer in the headlights moments, nothing I could do but sit and hope... luckily they stopped in time, and while listening to all the abuse under the sun, which I fully deserved, I went on my not so merry way.
