When the
call ended, I was signalled on to the hard shoulder by the police patrol
who had been shadowing me during the call, and advised that I wasn't in
full control of the car, having only one hand on the wheel.

I pointed out to him, that as the holder of a Private Pilot's Licence,
when landing my plane I controlled it with my left hand on the control
column, because my right hand had to be on the throttle, so I didn't
really think that steering with one hand for a short distance in the
slow lane was that risky (or words to that effect).


Remind me, is a runway as full of unpredictable nutters as the M25?
