Maxxis and cat like responses save the day

[Jewellbags]

Northern France , very wet plus stupid Frenchman driver in village .

He pulls out of side road a few yards away from us , hard on the brake and half lock to avoid him - new all weather maxxis tyres did not slide an inch - I was doing 30 at the time .

Definately an improvement over our continentals - can really feel the difference

If it was then you can only blame the Brit in the Motorhome.

Straight through village road - he came from a side street

But did he have right of way? Did you ignore the road sign that gave him priority?

How stupid is that rule I think there’s similar in Holland! Another reason not to go to either, just land and get outta there as quick as you can!! God I miss the hull to Zeebrugge ferry

The trouble is some French like to hold onto the old rules and so you have to be doubly careful. However, very glad your new tyres were good.

The priority rule is all well and good provided that the driver pulling out gives the m/h time to slow/stop or sees you, even in a big vehicle.
There are drivers in all countries with poor road sense or simply don't see you. I know this from 50 years as a biker dealing with SMIDSY's.
