erm, perhaps he should have been looking at the road ahead? The M1, especially around J35/Rotherham, is not reknowned for it's blind bends.

Took my learner driver son round the Leeds ring road last week, and had to point out to him there was a car stationary a couple of hundred yards ahead on the inside lane, so he needed to move to the outside lane; I would have expected a driver of Lord Ahmed's experience to have appropriate situational awareness to me, not my son.
