Touchy aint ya ????

Anyone criticises me = I have to take it
I make any comment that isn't sweetness and light = I'm touchy!

Hyde Park corner is No where near as Bad as it was 10 years ago. Since they put the lights on each Junction its easy!

Now if you want a real challenge try the Arc de Triomphe Now thats a challenge and I will never ever drive around there again.

It has room for about 25 lanes of cars and NON of the lanes are marked (I drove right around the outside and I was still ****e scared!

It's happened again! The afternoon dog walk was eased by a nice man in a big unmarked white van allowing Freddie Algie and me to cross.

Well Done Madelaine NEXT time you go out though don't forget to put clothes ON!

I've driven plenty of other places in France and Belgium but not Arc de Wotsit .... love it !!!!

If you think WVM is nuts at times try, the road from Delhi to Agra there was only one rule, if you are the biggest you have the right to go where you like,I was a passenger in a coach and I ducked a few times.
Mind we did have a laugh a few times at the number of cars and cycles that just went off the road.

Well You know what Great Drivers the French Are! and Like you said They all drive on the wrong side!

I hate those BIG lorries & trucks on the motorway they just dont care who they hit & who gets shoved out of their way

Yep they do it on purpose cos they are king of the road.

If you ever get a chance to sit in a wagon just have a look at how many blind spots there are, learn where they are and keep out of them if possible and you wont get squished. They are only human beings driving them and from time to time have accidents.

my hubby is a WVM atm and he is a very courteous driver, he has passed an advanced driving course and has only had 2 accidents since he was driving, both times he has been the one who got hit

the first by a man in a clio, who came round a corner on the wrongside of the road while talking to his wife, and was the only one in the car wearing a seatbelt, his wife and 2 daughters were hurt, thankfully not too badly tho

the last time was caused by a young girl (later found to be drunk) who slammed on her brakes near a junction causing the lorry driver behind her to swerve and he went into the side of Daves van - luckily the whole thing was on camera
