An accident forces me to take the scenic route. Over roller-coaster, country roads, a sleek, black pickup follows too close.
We’re stopped at unmanned road works. The temporary lights stuck on red. Tapping fingers on the steering wheel, I expect the pickup to overtake. But it doesn’t.
The lights eventually turn green.
But round the next bend a mountain of hay trundles at 20mph. The pickup still follows.
It’s like a stray dog, unwelcome at first, but now part of this silly adventure. But at the next round-about we part ways never to know, even if we do meet again.
