I read a review earlier today that said something similar about the motorbike scene, but I see it slightly differently. I'm not sure he was borderline suicidal; I thought that rather he needed to get out of the house and away from everyone because he'd not had a chance to let it all out - all day, he's had to be strong for the kids and for others around him. As I'm sure you know, it's impossible to have a row or a good cry or whatever in a house where there are young kids around - and I admit, I've legged it myself on a couple of occasions recently where I couldn't be in the house any more and needed to get out to calm down! (Long story...)
What struck me as odd about that scene was that they'd just leave this distraught bloke sitting on the edge of the motorway without attempting to get him home safely.
But other than that I completely agree with you :)
