Nobody can convince me that doing so wou;d have been the safer and more practical option of the two. He had nothing to hit. We had dozens of things we could have slid into the side of!
Oh, and whilst we're talking of Highway Code versus common sense what about the people who have been 'done' for crossing the stop line at a red light in order to allow an ambulance through flashing its lights and nee-nawing? Common sense would seem to indicate that getting out of the way to let the ambulance through takes priority but police, AA and RAC all say it's a No-No

On that basis I agree with you and folly. I did mention the bus that slid on the hill and got wedged elsewhere.
Bit supprised at the last bit. I've pulled through a red light a couple of times to let emergency vehicles through.
