I've been living in the sticks for 2 and a half years now and still have trouble with driving ... you're sharing the road with tractors, slow-driving oldsters who can hardly see, farm animals, wildlife, boy racers and pedestrians. And the roads themselves are bumpy, full of potholes and blind corners (especially at this time of year when the ditches are bursting with life) and often too narrow to allow two cars to pass each other.
It can be fairly hair-raising, even for a careful driver like myself. This morning a builder's lorry nearly reversed into me as I passed, his windows were so dirty he didn't seem to be able to see me
