Stuck in traffic
I dropped a visitor off at Leeds coach station the other day. I drove naked on the basis that I could stay in the car while he got out. Then I got sucked into the city center maze of one-way streets, and in the evening rush hour. My car stalled and refused to start for a while, annoying the drivers around me. Then I had to turn into a street so congested it took 30 minutes to travel 50 yards. I solely overtook a bus. Then it slowly overtook me. I was aware that passengers could see right down into my car, seeing everything all the time I was alongside it. Hopefully I cheered up their journey home.
sounds like the wee I had, the week before last. The earliest I managed to get home all week as 19:15 and the time I spent sat in queues was ridiculous. The highlight (low-light) was the M18 being closed forcing us all off at the M180 roundabout. That roundabout is very well floodlit :)

You may want to get that stalling problem checked out, especially if it has happened before or since. It could well signal an electric fuel pump that is getting close to failing completely. I have experienced that myself. A truck I had would stall periodically from time to time, but would eventually re-start. Then one day when I was ready to leave home, it would not start at all. Luckily it had stayed running long enough that time to get me home, but you may not be as fortunate. It may quit anywhere and leave you stranded. So get it checked before that happens. They don't always die in a convenient place or time like mine did. I just drove my other truck until I fixed that one.
