Frighten you?

[TWR]

Driving on a Motorway! why?

[RATTER15]

No, I find motorways about the easiest roads to drive on, the only risk I find is the boredom of motorways making me tired.

[Traci66]

Not me, I prefer motorway driving to any other, no roundabouts, traffic lights, nearly straight roads, (by that I mean no tight bends), put me on a motorway and I'm happy.

[joeluke]

Agree with Ratter (for once)

[hc4361]

The only scary bit is getting on to the motorway, and being trapped between 2 artics.
Oh, and the spray in heavy rain.

[sherrardk]

I don't drive on motorways - hate getting on and off and don't trust 99% of the people around me.

[Brinjal]

No why should it.

[shoota]

I didn't use to be frightened but after recent posts from a couple of people I now am.

[tonyav]

Depends on who is driving !

[Hopkirk]

Only when driving past Villa Park.

I go so berserk insulting them that I risk losing control.

[TWR]

Check Traci's answer Shoota. the purpose of the Question is to see if anyone is Brinjal! That's why I asked it.

[shoota]

Only kidding, I'm not really frightened.

[joeluke]

How is entering/leaving a motorway a problem to some people?

If you are a competent driver and use your mirrors correctly then its simple

[sherrardk]

I can enter and leave a motorway, I am just not confident doing so. I had passed my test for about five years before I first drove on a motorway and probably haven't driven on a motorway for about 8 years (if not longer).

[ummmm]

No, doesn't frighten me.

[Traci66]

The roads where I am are mostly really bendy, country roads and I hate driving on them, on a motorway you only have to concentrate on the other traffic and not what might be coming around the next bend on the wrong side of the road. The visibility, on motorways, most of the time means you can see far ahead and it is much easier to anticipate what the traffic around you is going to do.

[hc4361]

I agree, Traci, those high hedged, narrow and bendy lanes can be a test of nerves.
Potential pedestrians, cyclist,horses, cows round every corner, stone walls hidden in the hedgerow, ditches hidden underneath them.

[joeluke]

You are right to steer clear of motorways sherrardk, they are not the place for drivers who lack confidence.....dual carriageways too as joining them from a slip road is exactly the same as joining a motorway, the cars are likely to be travelling just as fast

[boxtops]

Yes, I won't do it. I hate driving on long straight roads with people whizzing past me. Give me country lanes any time.

[boxtops]

generally, I don't do dual carriageways either, jl.

[hc4361]

boxtops, are you the one tootling along in front of me at 30 in a 60 mph zone?
