Just back from a 1500 mile trip to see my father in law who is on end of life care. Away for a week.
M6, had 2 “red flag” incidents, one where a car dangerously cut in front of me, moving from lane 4 to a slip road at speed. My car emergency braked. One where car in front did a full emergency stop, it was a Tesla, think it phantom braked. My car, again, full on emergency stop to a standstill, then accelerate sharply to avoid being a rear end target.
On top of that, my car had some sort of meltdown on the M74 and did weird brake/ accelerate/ tug steering ( leading to surges and pulses causing steering issues) in every bend at any speed, flashing the traction control light while doing so. It was really bad, even doing so when overtaking and changing lanes on a straight road. I had to wait 30+ miles to get to a services, turned car off, restarted and problem was gone….but it would have given Drive Smart a fit for the erratic and frankly dangerous way it was behaving. This issue appeared at any speed, on any bend, cruise on, cruise off, lane keep on or off etc, I tried it all to see if it made a difference. But no, it was simply that, for whatever reason, if you turned it went mental.
A classic example of where you would be penalised for no fault of your own.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.

I would imagine, that would have been sufficient to remove you from the scheme through no fault of your own!
