Horrifying pile up on the motorway

Sundae · 11-09-2011, 12:17 PM

I was caught in a freak hailstorm once.
I was on a dual carriageway with a hard shoulder, and was able to pull over under a flyover.
At that point I had no confidence in my own driving skills whatsoever, and even less in other people's, simply because of the lack of visibility.

I felt safe under my bridge but appalled at the speed of the cars that went by me. Probably close to the speed limit (70mph).
You can't fucking SEE!
I even remember what song was playing (Macy Gray, I Try). I happily wailed along as my car steamed up and the hail turned the world into a grey television screen in front of me.

In less than five minutes I was able to move on, and luckily passed no accidents.
