By the time Dave was released from hospital, his truck was already being scrapped and his employer was scheduling a new route. Life, like the M6, keeps moving forward. He’s already back behind the wheel, albeit with a little more respect for the physics of momentum.
So next time you see a lorry looming in your rearview mirror, give the driver a wave. They’re not just moving boxes. They’re moving stories. And sometimes, they get a second chance to tell them.
Drive safe. Stay steady. And if you ever end up on your side, remember: the rescue team is already on the way, and your phone only needs one bar to call for help.
