This morning I was approaching J12 on the M56 having just crossed the 'new' Mersey bridge, when I saw the front of an HGV rapidly approaching my exhaust pipe. I was in the outer lane of two, slowing for a 90-degree turn onto the half-mile hill down to the motorway. The HGV decided to undertake me on the tight bend and then continue in the outer lane, missing my left headlamp by what felt like inches, but may have been about a foot. It then sped down the hill, running a red light at the bottom before forcing its way into the left lane to join the M56 west (I was heading for the A56, so was in the correct lane all the way through). Of course drivers do that under the M56 bridge all the time.
That incident COULD have been very nasty, as I had no real escape route. So much for Kings of the Road.
