Silly thing is, there was far less traffic wherever we drove in Spain, its the roundabouts that worry me, i had white knuckles most of the time when my other half drove!!:unsure:

I think it is much worse being the passenger when driving in Spain, I am like a demented banshee, weeping an na wailing everytime a car comes within a few feet of us, I have to sit on my hands to stop my nails from cutting into the palms of my hands. OK maybe a bit OTT but as a passenger I think you have more time to notice things, when I point luny drivers out to OH he just says "yes I know their there but I'm to busy doing what I'm doing."

Surely no different from being a passenger in the UK, unless you are in Spain in a RHD car, then the passenger is on the side next to all the moving traffic.

Mike you are talking to the lady that thinks if she closes her eyes and breaths in it will make a difference to the width of space when she is driving between two buses on a busy London road.:blink: Driving instructors face was a picture the first time I did that in Borourgh High Street;)
