Driving in France & Belgium

[C240Sport97]

Yup we almost got taken out by an airborne Golf estate a couple of years ago. The driver tried to cut diagonally across a strip of grass at full speed after taking the wrong lane when the motorway split. Hit a hidden ditch or drainage channel and took off, landed about a car's length ahead of us and just to one side (amazingly, upright).

After that we noticed many of the grass verges at motorway junctions had tyre tracks running across them!

Years ago, was lost in a French ski resort. Eventually found our way to a lift which had to be reopened to get us up. They called us "Les Belges" quite loudly.
