In France and Germany I felt much safer than here. Even doing 110 on the Autobahn. Because at that speed you do one thing: concentrate on driving.

Italy was, well interesting. But of course all those countries drive on the right like we do.

But I have decided I will not drive in the U.K. or Ireland. Too much room for error on my part.
