I felt I was stuck back in the 60s in the USA, oldie songs on the radio, some new cars still had manual chokes, narrow two lane black top roads, some even one lane from villages to villages in spots. Can't comment on Germany. will agree about roundabouts here in the villages, most stop when no traffic coming when all they have to do is yield and go. But, at stop signs the coast through or pull through the signs or white lines across the road when you have the right away you don't know if they are stopping or not, Then, they give you the go to hell look. Before you are in line you have to stop at the stop sign......and preferable BEHIND IT not car length after it!

OK " Topspin Mo " You may be aware that dependents routinely would take a quick trip to France only ot get there Passport stamped to avoid taking the british Driving exam. That loophole has long been closed. You were stationed there in the 90s fine but Mo that was many,many years ago. A person could fail for many reasons one is parallel parking, stopping in a hill and if you broke backed up just a hair on a putting the car in gear ..Fail. Come on the test in England is a Real Test,
