Enforce what we have already Do not ever think of driving in Europe. let's qualify that. We're talking Germany and Gemrany wannabes here. In most countries you will be stopped if spotted eating, drinking, talking on the phone, or doing anything that is not driving. On the autobahn at speed, you may be cautioned for not having both hands on the steering wheel. You can fail your driving test by talking, failing to check your mirrors once a minute or resting your elbows on the door. You will get tickets for failing to signal a lane change, cruising in the fast lane, overtaking on the inside, running out of washer fluid, not having a spare tyre, car body damage, misaligned headlights, and not having your lights on if your wipers are running. Snort! Ever drive in Italy? They don't believe in seatbelts. It means you haven't got confidence in your driving and makes you more likely to have an accident. A quick peek at the cars going by there will reveal a huge percentage of people not bothering with them. The further south you go the fewer wear them. (Padanians, are, after all, wannabe germans) You can nearly tell your lattitude by the percentage of non wearers. Same is roughtly true for france and spain. And then, OTOH, you can drive as fast as you like just about anywhere but England. Bertie |
