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?
The runway is not the problem, it's getting to the runway from where you
are, and a gusty crosswind provides the unpredictability.
