Agreed, it's just too busy. Switzerland seems to manage being a small country and still have fine driving roads, but we are probably more
densely populated. Motorcycle is the only way to get reliable road fun these days and 60 on nice twisty A roads is still quite fun at times. To be
honest I feel a bit stupid sitting in a sports car but stuck in a queue.
Have you ever driven in Switzerland? Its beautiful, but not very car friendly as a nation. They do manage to keep things moving though which is
awesome, the cameras are a bit frustrating though.

You know, I was driving around for a little over a week in Kent and Hampshire last April. I suppose I was one of those grannies, because I
couldn't stop thinking how much better people drive in England than here in Canada, where it's stop go, stop go, all over the place. Or
maybe we just weren't in Scotland... yeah, and thanks for the offer of the cars, but I've got too many right now. And that bike is just
mental. I'll take the kidneys if you don't mind...

I've noticed the same - roads definitely a lot busier over the last couple of years....I used to do 30000 a year for work and think nothing of
it but since y job role changed a year ago I do very little mileage now. If I have to do any longish trips these days I hate it. Out of the
groove....
Plus there's no decent roads around Preston/Blackpool that I know of - unless anybody can enlighten me?
Missing the open twisties of South Wales....
