motorway driving and the hazards

hi folks < had a nice day out in Alton Towers yesterday and surprisingly very few problems on the roads.
A beautiful sunny day and left at eight. I came across the usual non mirror lookers that just move in an out without looking. Then theres the drivers who forget they do actually have small flashing orange lights to tell other road users when they are about to change lane or direction.So off at J28 and the usual tractor driver, just a little patience required here to pass when theres a safe opportunity.
Two and a quarter hours and all the thrill of the rides and the expensive food "LOL".
Some great rides which , i have to say " left me a little worse for wear".So fed and watered for the return trip. Back down the B roads and safely on to the M1. Hello here we go MR.I CAN'T AFFORD A HANDS FREE KIT appeared at 80 mph , scary and out of my way quickly.Then more of what i experienced on the way down,with a little tiredness thrown in. The beast thing is to stop in a safe place , eg the nearest services. If your still a distance , wind your window down, turn some good music on, stay alert. It pnly takes a second to never see the next servie station. Driving at high speeds takes constant concentration.
Two hours later, home safe, showered and a cold beer. A great time had by all !
