This morning, as I trundled along the A13, I had my own little Karl Harris moment. Following a car and van, I saw something in the road, ahead of the van. As it passed over, the object got caught in the back wheel of the van. The car behind swerved to the right and the lump of timber (for that's what it turned out to be) met me at head height. It bounced off my lid just above the visor and continued its aerial journey towards Lakeside.

I tell you something; a bit of 4x4 wood banging into your crash helmet whilst you're doing 70 mph (officer), is a highly focussing moment. Fortunately, there was no loss of control (apart from the sudden, brief smell of adrenaline :blush:) and the helmet has only a rub mark where the wood slid across the top.
