Travelling back from Manchester yesterday morning, ( in my support bubble role to a disabled lady with terminal cancer), I was pretty happy I had got over the Pennines on a dry day with occasional dazzling sunshine without any weather problems.
That all changed at Dishforth on the A1, and all along the A168, and A19 when the heavy snowfall ensued, quickly reducing the northbound to a single carriageway being used by drivers in a cautious and sensible manner.
Then along the now snowed over outside lane it came, one of those huge BMW things ploughing it's way along passing all the traffic and showering huge amounts of snow and slush over everyone's cars briefly making vision impossible.
This happened a couple of more times with more of those big ugly brutes( the cars), ploughing along.
Hmmm perhaps the drivers matched my description of the cars.
Road hogs in every sense.
