Nice day today wasn't it, and I was off to Whifbitz for some servicing work. So off I went down the M40 as usual, and for some reason I thought I'd stay at 80mph all the way instead of the usual 80, 90... etc etc.
So despite some nice stretches of open road I kept cruising at that speed, and after 10 mins a black Vectra followed by an X5 came up right behind me. There was traffic in front so I couldn't have gone faster if I wanted to, but the Vectra was by now right up my tailpipe. This really gets on my t1ts, but this time instead of touching the brakes I didn't bother, and when the cars in front moved out of the way, instead of switching O/D off and flooring it I just moved to the inside lane.
So the Vectra zoomed past me, as did the X5, and I thought nothing of it.
Until about 2 mins later when the Vectra, which was an unmarked police car, had blue lights all over it and had pulled in the X5 to the hard shoulder.
I am so, so lucky. These kind of things always happen. Every now and then I take it easy and slow down, and plod is just around the corner. Whenever I'm going for it WOT, he is nowhere to be seen.
