I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

    Brits are exceptionally bad at driving. It’s unbelievable the dumb shit they do on the roads. All it takes is get across the channel to see what traffic could be.

    Funilly enough - it takes about 5 miles, when coming back from EU, for the rules to be thrown out the window. Doing 20 below on a fast lane, never overtaking, not fitting into a single lane, no indicators, no anticipation, no fucks given. :(

      Can’t say I agree with this. I’ve driven in France, Belgium, Netherlands & Germany and didn’t really notice any difference in standards across anywhere, including the UK. The only weirdness I saw was in France where I saw drivers purposely crashing their car into other parked cars to make some space.

      Other than the not using indicators thing, I haven’t seen anything like you describe. Doing below 20 in the fast lane is a death sentence, unless you’re in traffic obviously.

        Belgians stick to the right like glue, Dutch are similar. Germans are, well, Germans. Very polite, very precise.

        Yes, it is. Doesn’t stop some people. They simply rely on others to do safe driving.
