One of the memories anyone driving through southwest England brings home is the extremely narrow roads. Here's a quick POV on a lane where it doesn't really matter if you're driving on the left or the right side of the road. The hedges are so high, you often have no view. And when even a bike comes by, you need to find a pull-out to be able to pass. While distances are short, it can be slow going -- especially in areas popular with tourists on summer weekends.
