I was taking a US visit down an English country lane (single track) at the usual and legal 60mph, the knuckles were going white on his hands and he asked "is this a two way street?" (street not really being the right word but that didn't matter), I said "sure!" He said "what happens when someone comes the other way?" To which I said "well, we try and miss each other!" :) Add the usual 90 degree first/second gear corners and *that's* what makes for an enjoyable drive. It's interesting to note the level of interest and discussion about roll over accidents. I can't think of that being a major issue at all in the UK. Is that down to stiffer suspension, smaller, lower cars instead of the prevalence of SUV's? Or just that people don't tend to be T boned at large intersections in the same way? David.
