Missed my turnoff on the A! and ended up on it. Fortunately, I knew which junction to exit , and had to cross several lanes to reach it, by the old (French) method of putting on the indicator and changing lanes without waiting - they all do it. My wife had her eyes closed!
I had a blow -out in the outside lane of the M5 just before Frankley services, and had to swerve across the lanes, before stopping on the incoming slip road to change the wheel. When I finally got the tyre looked at in Redruth, the guy said it looked like a bullet hole! A long story, but on my way back from Cornwall (work related) on the Friday, there was a tanker in the same spot as I had been, having a tyre changed.
I live in Woodley, so use the Bredbury junction a lot. It pisses me off when timid drivers (usually female) arrive at the main motorway at around 45-50 mph, put their indicator on, then slow down and wait for someone to let them change lanes. Why don't they go through Denton instead?
