My Trip Home

My Trip Home was so hard and stupid. It was really really windy and the wind kept blowing me out of my lane (particularly when overtaking lorries) and the rain was horrible. There was so much and it was so fast that even on the fastest settings my wipers couldn't cope. Especially when the spray from other drivers was getting in my windscreen. Oh, and my rear wiper died on me, so I couldn't see out of the back window, which rendered my rear view mirror pretty much redundant.

So because I didn't want to get overtaken by people due to the spray, I decided to only drive in the inside lane. So I was driving very quickly, about 90 (very quickly for me), and then, helpfully, my boot popped open! I didn't realise at first because I was listening very loudly to Crystal Method. But I felt a draft and then I realised. So I had to really quickly pull over to the hard shoulder - I nearly took out about a couple of cars in my panic - and shut the door.

Thankfully I didn't lose anything :)
