tcherry Unbelievably I had very few problems with driving on the motorways or getting lost, haven't a clue now how I managed so well. I remember one time the French police had set up speed traps to catch the English as they came off the boats and to make certain they used the roundabouts properly .
I remember a frightening drive with my son when we were following his friends cars in the pouring rain , how no crashes ensued I'll never know this was in Belgium.
I hold the family record for getting back from Heathrow to Leicester , including a stop for petrol, under hour and a quarter, it was early in the am, had dropped son at Heathrow EARLY 5,00am or earlier(1987) and honestly had a virtual clear road home.
I like speed but am not stupid in using it. My husband does most of our driving nowadays , he automatically takes the keys to the car and gets in the drivers seat, so I don't get much chance of driving.
