I wondered if people take extra caution when driving on say, narrow country roads which have trees at the side. Is there a danger that the caravan could get damaged by branches? Is it something I need to be wary of? Although I wouldn't want to drive too far out, as the risk of hitting oncoming traffic would definitely be more serious.

We are aware, the visitors tend to drive in the middle of the lanes in fear they may end up in the drainage channels due to there being no kerbs. In Winter they drive way too fast & meet frost & ice, in the big cities the roads have been salted-not out here.

We had a day in the big city yesterday, or at least part of it. (Half a day was enough) It appears to be the norm to race madly between sets of traffic lights, which are often no more than 50 metres apart. To us, it didn’t look like anyone was achieving more than we were, as we usually just rolled up behind the vehicle we were following.
It would be good if once electric cars are dominant, the roads could be set up to govern speeds. Imagine no more speeding or aggression👍 Perhaps not in my lifetime....

Posted on 25/11/2021 11:50 by JVB66It seems that you are out of touch with what is griitted in a lot of areas now, as it is usually just bus routes and near school s
Posted on 25/11/2021 14:44 by Rocky 2 bucketsJV, I was not talking about ‘a lot of areas’ I was specifically talking of my area,I know exactly what is salted/gritted as I drive them regularly in Winter & there is NO salting/gritting. FYI-Hull is mostly salted/gritted👍🏻

Posted on 25/11/2021 18:07 by JVB66I thought there were buses in East Yorks and that would mean school buses or are there also no children in your area
