Crete.
Just walking back from a meal at a restaurant with the family when it happened. after that we walked the rest of the mile in silence.
my point is, clip a car at 90 in dense motorway traffic, and just image whats left of you after being hit by several cars in the fast and middle
lane........ the cars follow too closely to have any visbility of a body in the road in fast dense traffic.

There was a horrific accident on the A47 near Norwich over the winter.
An elderly lady was walking her dog and strayed onto the dual carriageway. I believe she was hit by ten cars that never saw her.
Not nice at all
If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

Re: bikes on motorways.
I never know exactly what's best to do. A couple of times I started to move over for them and almost knocked the poor buggers off their bikes
as they'd decided to power through (I did signal!).
Now I just run the car almost onto the rumble strip to give them as much room as possible, seems to work and be appreciated, although I know
it's not the right thing to do it seems the safest.
I think that as I'm driving a 'sports car' most people think you'll never get out of their way. (or is that BMWs?)
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway.
But more, much more than this,
I did it side-ah-ways.
