That's an interesting shot. If you do some more, one tiny thing; we can almost see his face in the windshield? ;)

The car was definately empty.
Coudl possibly be a bit of glare and or reflection.

Isn't it illegal to get out of your vehicle on the M25 and lie down on the carriageway to take photo's?!

I can assure my two chaperones would not of permitted me to do anything unsafe or illegal.
This was all rather tame compared some stuff i have done, but that is the beauty of persevering and gaining the trust and respect of these people.
Such is the level of mutual awreness now, i am often asked what shpts do i want to get and often hear suggestions that when tiem allows we can have a go at.
It doesnt always work out due to calls etc, but they all get put in the memory bank for the future.

Very striking shot, got any more?

I had a ride in a traffic car earlier this year, on a skid pan - huge fun, now I know how Jeremy Clarkson must feel when he's at "work". :D
