I met the guy once, in Australia in the late 80s.

Well, I kinda met him. He was introduced to a bunch of us, not me individually. But still! 8)

with the exception of actually getting on to the damn thing (sliproads can be scary, especially busy ones like they're liable to be in england), i think motorway driving is pretty easy- it's a lot wider- I know I'd rather do 70 on a motorway than 40 on some country roads...

falling asleep is a major problem on motorways though, the boredom is what does it. it's the fastest way (by car) from a to b, but that also makes it the most boring...

You just have to keep an eye on the idiots for when they do something really stupid.

Slightly off topic, I loathe the section of the M6 from Stafford -> around preston as the driving is absolutely crazy.

For the sleepy bit crossing the pennines is bad especially in winter because you lose all radio reception so you have to fight not to get too dozy.

Tom, go out on M-ways early morning before they get too busy.In some ways they are easier as , in theory at least, everyone is going in the same direction. There are tons of morons out there so watch out. Stay away from Nissan Micras driven by elderley people wearing hats.

Try driving in Texas where a hummer is pretty SMALL and there is NO overtaking policy on freeways(motorways) and the indicator is an OPTIONAL extra on cars sold AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

..

aye. you have to do that on all roads, but I suppose motorways normally are busier, so have more chance of having an idiot.

dakine: indicators OPTIONAL? :o :lol:

HHAHA! Are cars fitted with mind reading devices then so you know where people are going?! That has to be the stupidest thing ever..
