Discussion
had a little rain last night-driving along fast(ish)well surfaced cv road this morning and come across(ooo er) 3 damsals in their s
tron who have obviously just skidded off the road,they had the obligatory tri-angles out and were ok and had called for help so on my way-glanced my rear view mirror 150 metres or so after leaving to see another myopic/drunk/talentless driver smash thru their well placed warning tri-angles, oh dear,one of my best spanish pals still insists they are the best,safest drivers in europe if not the world(based i think entirely on alonso,lorenzo et al).i have tried many times to inform him of his delusion and pointed out he would probably be beaten to a pulp in mutiple road rage attacks if he were to drive in the uk.oh well,back to living the dream-cold innit!

The right lane isn't for turning left. It's for turning right, and straight ahead. The left lane is for turning left, and straight ahead. Same as the rest of Europe.
If you're in the left lane, and want to exit, you indicate right, and if there's someone in the right lane, you go around again.
They showed it on the TV recently.
I think they stay in the right lane becuase they have right of way if they have a knock.
agree totally,i was just saying what acctually happens in reality day in day out.If you're in the left lane, and want to exit, you indicate right, and if there's someone in the right lane, you go around again.

Whilst they do have their moments, I wouldn't put the Spanish at the bottom of the 'driving standards league' until you consider how appalling the average driver is in the UK. Portugal, Greece, Croatia and a few others to name but a few.k would anyone in their right mind decide the right lane is to turn left-sounds mad even typing it!
