On my way back from an appointment on Tuesday a $car crossed my path, so I thought I'd try and confirm the theory that they always return to base when our assistance vehicles are about.
Now, I was just in a teashirt and shorts (yes I know) so it wasn't obvious to the driver who I was, so I pulled up next to at some lights where he could clearly see the NTM sticker on the bike, so we end up on the Blackwall tunnel approach, get as far as the Old Ford junction where he does an about turn and goes in the opposite direction, I think he wanted to confirm his suspicions about me, so, with suspicions confirmed as I followed, he went straight back to base and parked up.
Theory confirmed, very odd that they'd rather not do what we pay for when they have potential assistance, after all, we only want them to achieve their statutory goal, don't we
As I was due to visit family in Kent I continued with my day, with a nice smile on my face
