I learned to drive on the M1 before I left school, we used to go up to what was called the Mecca Village services, we used to see all sorts of famous faces back then coming back from gigs.
I rolled the motorway up there, working for ‘limmer and Trinidad’ we laid the tarmac on the M1 at trowell services (Mecca village services) ,it was practice to check the hardness by descending the ladders on the side of the roller and test it with your heel, on this occasion I hadn’t applied the brake and the roller ran over my toe with no one driving it, my foot was stuck firm in the asphalt so I had to abandon my boot and run after a 20+ ton road roller in one boot, luckily I caught it before it did any damage, except to my toe of course which was mended at Nottingham hospital .I learned to drive on the M1 before I left school, we used to go up to what was called the Mecca Village services, we used to see all sorts of famous faces back then coming back from gigs.

when the cops stopped the car they were told "they were just out for a spin". it don't look as if drugs or drink was involved.
