You have not, appearently, driven in the United States lately. By
comparison British drivers are far and away more curteous and cooperative -
as hard as that may seem to believe.

Yes, and I'm sure that our teutonic bretheren also enjoy the occasional
'interesting coming togethers.' A workmate of mine one day was bumped into
by an elderly lady who was being most careful by driving at a prudent 20
MPH. The problem is she drove 20 MPH into the rear of his stopped
automobile. Speed may kill but in this case slow (and poor eyesight)
caused quite a bit of distress of the sheetmetal kind. Perhaps if we had
more roundabouts and fewer traffic lights this wouldn't have happened.
(now if only I can work in slow drivers in the fast lane I will have
recapped the weeks news.)
Cheers and have a nice Sunday with Canley Girl.
Dave
