On a wet November night, I was glad to drive home from work, at first. It was not long before I was met with a long tailback. Unbeknownst to me what went wrong, I took a different route. I went onto M1, and aiming to get on A64, before I was met with the police blocking off A64 due to an accident. Instead of turning back onto M1 to Thorner, I travel further south, and come home via Crossgate. When I got near Leeds, there were more tailbacks. The signs read Bonfire Night expect delay.
After 70 minutes in the car, I had thought to abandon the car, but I made it to a Tesco to kill some time. I lost the will to drive the final 1 mile. The shopping was quite fruitful, and after the rest stop, it only took 10 minutes to travel the final mile, as compare to 20 minutes it would take if I had not taken a break.
If I was on a bike, I would have zip past all the traffic, and I would be home at nearly normal time. I shall remember the Bonfire night delay next year. I must also equip the car with emergency food supply.
