[SEL] OT the hi road or the low road

[Kerry]

What do you mean smartarse :-))

The hardest thing in driving is making turns at intersections, Ruth was a 
savior there and would remind me, her sayings were
Right turn keep it tight, eg turn in close where we go to the other side
Left turn keep it loose. go to the other side where we turn to the closest 
gutter.

tip when you first drive away from the hire car place get behind some one 
and follow for awhile, ensure Carmel can read a map as you will have enough 
to think of and you start to panic in traffic if you don't know exactly were 
your going.
I told you before but ensure you have car insurance, seemed to be a extra
