I once leased a motorhome in Germany and had the bright (stupid) idea of including England as part of our trip. Never again! You had to be fully alert at all times and those roundabouts were murder. The motorhome had a blindside, and everyone kept honking their horns at me. British drivers can be very vocal and use hand signals similar to Italians when they don't like your driving. By the way, we sold our Mercedes Benz Sprinter RV last week. Car Max gave us an excellent price -- twice what I was expecting. If you look at most objective measures Brits are the second or third safest drivers on the planet, both on a per cap and per 100K miles driven basis, which is actually more impressive than it looks given the population density (the countries ahead of the UK are Scandinavian, with lower pop densities). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our RV had South Dakota plates, now known as the state whose female governor shoots puppies, goats and old horses, and where you only need 30 days stay at a motel to qualify for a concealed weapon permit. No one honks their horn at me. Now that we are renting a car with California plates, I have experienced several honking incidents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
