I consider standards of driving to be quite poor in Ireland, but I rented a car in Portugal a few months ago and found them mental! Motorway slip roads are pretty dangerous in parts, in particular.

Worst in Europe I've ever experienced is probably Portugal too, but that pales into insignificance with what I experienced in India. Truly shocking and I do not know how more people there aren't killed. If you stop at a red light for example you get beeped at.....no one stops at red lights.

I am in Portugal a lot and like Jay I find the slip roads onto motorways very dangerous. Not a lot of 300zx's in Portugal so very lucky (or unlucky) to find a crashed one to display.

Anyone who thinks UK roads are unsafe needs to drive in some different countries. Parts of Spain and France are dire, like shocking. Turkey is pretty fun, not. On the other hand Holland is great.

It actually says that was in a display in 2006

 

Always though, drive defensively, Best Advanced course I ever did

Wait until you have driven in China.... :thumbup:

 

"...in a campaigne named "Crash - road accidents in focus" - funny, it doesnt look like a focus :lol:

I found the same too when I hired in the Algarve. I mistakenly rented some 1.0 litre jobbie and was tailgated everytime I needed to overtake on a motoray and I dont just mean a little close, I mean right up close, flashing lights...could see the whites of his eyes. Scary stuff but not half as bad as Prague....went there when I went to uni, super psycho!!
