I had promised my friend some plants and cuttings from my garden, so i loaded up my car this morning and set off. I had just turned on to the motorway when i noticed a big spider crawling across the front of the dash! I was very tempted to swerve or pull over but had to grit my teeth and drive on.
The spider crawled up the window beside me and spent the next half an hour walking up and down beside my head, i was steeling myself for it to land in my hair! I contemplated pulling over onto the hard shoulder, but it is quite narrow and the traffic goes very fast so decided not to risk getting out of the car.
Anyway luckily i made it to my friends without incident, and was able to get rid of the spider, but i'm just wondering how many accidents insects actually cause? I know another friend of mine had a wasp in the car a couple of weeks ago, she said it nearly made her crash as it kept flying around her head. :(
