I'm fed up with having to drive in the outside lane at 60mph because if I moved in I'd be driving faster and undertaking as there's nobody in those lanes.

Oh you need one of those devices that I invented, so that you can politely tell people like me to move over! Mind you, I tend to drive somewhat faster than that...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 Its the slip roads I can't do. I'm fine once I'm on there - have'nt tried M25 however. Gives me the heebies as a passenger and I'm sure you're not supposed to drive with your eyes shut although some of the driving makes me think that some people are!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 > It doesn't help being so close to the M25! > Caroline You're obviously living in the wrong place! You need to be somewhere that hasn't heard of motorways - like Norfolk! I very rarely drive on motorways only because we don't have any here! First time I did a motorway I was driving to Basingstoke on my own in a hired car for work! Figured if I could do that in one piece without getting lost I'm ok! Would like to practice a bit more, but not when I have to drive for an hour just to find one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving in Holland was the worst I have ever done as most of their motorways are only two lanes but the traffic is literally nose to tail. I learned how to pull out into the smallest gaps imaginable. The good thing was that most of the time people travelled in the correct lane. Cerys, don't sit in the outside lane, pull over. If you don't feel safe overtaking on the inside in the middle lane, do it in the inside lane. If the traffic is blocked in the outside lane, it's legal isn't it? -- Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
