Sheffield.

Country lanes.

Glasgow/Edinburgh M8!

Anywhere with narrow mountain roads and no barriers - Kefalonia springs to mind.

Big cities don't bother me, I learnt to drive in east London!

New places

Marrakesh

Isitfridayyetsophie · 02/10/2024 18:41

The countryside! Much prefer driving in a city or town.

FionnulaTheCooler · 02/10/2024 18:41

Anywhere that there's snow.

The elevated section of the M5 between the Portishead and Clevedon junctions.

Arlanymor · 02/10/2024 18:42

Through mountain fog and driving rain at twilight, it’s the worst.

I hate driving in a city.
Give me a country lane any day.

Gnoblin · 02/10/2024 18:44

I like motorway driving. Nice and easy. I do not like city driving: unfamiliar one way systems, bus gates, pedestrians weaving through slow moving traffic. So stressful!

Paris. Passing the Arc de Triomph, I thought we were actually going to die. Gritted my teeth and braced for the bang the whole time.

The horrible roundabout just off junction 37 of the M1 leading to Dearne Valley Parkway.

frogpigdonkey · 02/10/2024 18:46

Anywhere with trams

Sleepthief · 02/10/2024 18:46

Hackney and Reading

AllAboutNiamh · 02/10/2024 18:46

Miami. I can’t bear those 6 lane highways, and have to leave it to my husband. Pathetic, but there we are.

LostMonsters · 02/10/2024 18:47

San Francisco

BlackberrySky · 02/10/2024 18:47

Unlit country lanes at night, with trees on both sides.

notacooldad · 02/10/2024 18:48

Marrakesh
Yes, Horrendous. So is Tirana!
I'm a confident driver but those two places and also Seville, shit me up a bit!

MountainBiker · 02/10/2024 18:48

Cardiff. Too many words on too many signs. Although easier now I have a satnav!

Country lanes.

This. Nothing more terrifying than a narrow winding road between high hedges where cars hurtle at 60mph and you have seconds to pull into a bush.

But when you reach the wide, straight, clear A roads it goes down to 40 😂 make it make sense

DappledThings · 02/10/2024 18:50

Any large town with a confusing one-way system. I'm looking at you Maidstone.
