Some places had two lanes, but you'd catch up with a lorry and there was just no way to overtake as what remained of the 2nd lane was too narrow, and they went on for miles.
Wimp, those type of roadworks are there to test your nerves. I occasionally push my way through but sometimes even I wimp out. The only people who don't seem to wimp out are WVM.Leave a comment:
