Well, Dick lets off full steam again but none of his points seem connected to what I said. As for clueless, the vast bulk of my mileage is done on motorways and, so far, it's been incident-free (and I'm no spring chicken). Well I did get done once for doing 60 in one of those 50 mph average-speed doodahs in their early days, but I did enjoy the speed awareness course... :-) And Don, my aversion to caravans probably arises from the fact that I live just off the A39, not known hereabouts for its long straight bits. We have lovely camp-sites, cottages, B&Bs and hotels round here and you can actually buy food and booze here as well!
