An hour later, Harry was driving along the north shore of the Firth of Forth towards the suspension bridge that would take him across to Edinburgh. He was beginning to feel almost optimistic since he had seen nothing of the helicopter after it had disappeared over the layby. London at last began to seem within reach. But his optimism soon proved to be shortlived. Glancing in his mirrors before changing lanes to follow the signs to the bridge approach road, he suddenly glimpsed the Land Rover behind him slipping out of a side turning and accelerating rapidly in pursuit. Harry immediately put his foot hard down but the traffic was much too dense to allow him to lose his pursuers. He dodged in and out provoking a lot of fist waving and hooting, but it was no good. Whenever he looked in the mirrors the Land Rover was always right behind him. He tried to identify the occupants, but the reflections in the windscreen made it impossible.

As the towers of the suspension bridge came into view in the distance, Harry noticed the gigantic reddish-brown cantilevers of the monumental old Forth Railway Bridge looming beyond them, and a crazy and dangerous plan occurred to him. Keeping a sharp lookout, he glimpsed a narrow minor turning off on the left about half a mile ahead. Stamping on the accelerator, he yanked the wheel to the right as if he intended to overtake in the fast lane. Sure enough the Land Rover pulled out in pursuit. Harry drew level with the front of the slower traffic in the nearside lane and let the Land Rover creep up right behind him as he slowed the MG down a little. With his eyes glued to the turning ahead, he suddenly accelerated past the slow vehicles and swung the wheel hard to the left, cutting across them and just managing to manoeuvre into the angled side road. The Land Rover was stuck helplessly in the fast lane, unable to turn because of the line of slower traffic and unable to brake because of the fast traffic behind it.
