My days of LGV driving are over too.Strictly my car these days between Yorkshire to Spain via France3 or 4 times a year.I can confirm that I’m glad when I get off this island.The standard of driving gets worse and many so-called professionals do themselves or the profession no good at all.The south east of England is particularly bad for reckless and selfish car driving.I always try to do my drive to/from a ferry overnight for my own safety.We Brits used to pat ourselves on the back for our superior driving skills and temperament.Even the French president (Chirac) praised what he called the “serenity” of British drivers.Those days are long gone.
