Grass cutters - beware! - the judge
Travelling southbound on the M40, 20 miles south of Birmingham on the inside lane, I was shocked by a very loud bang against the nearside side of the car. By the time I recovered my wits I realised what had probably happened. The incident occured as I was passing an industrial size grass cutter, working on the bank. It had picked up a stone and flung it against the nearside passenger door. Had it been two inches higher it would have hit the window, and probably continued its journey with me as the next stop.

Anyway a call to the highways agency has sorted out the damage to the car, but next time I see one of those machines in operation I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!

Too right, the grass cutting firms keep us nice and busy through the summer months.
