most of the way through

His back faces the usual direction of travel in the car but when it's considerably snowy and scumbags are still steaming past in the other lane at twice the speed I was considering to be safe then it somewhat randomises the direction in which an impact might occur. Were it not for all the other people about it would be quite pleasant to pootle along the motorway at somewhere between twenty and thirty, depending on the amount of tarmac still visible in the tracks of the previous vehicle. It was a bit dicey on the approach to Glasgow and considerably dicier on the way into Gorgie from the bypass, when very few road markings were visible and people going round the roundabouts were assuming that heavy snow exempted them from having to use their indicators.
