Hi
Off to France for first time (with van) in August. When I've been before I've always noted that the entry slip roads onto the main roads are shorter and narrower than ours.
When I'm solo in a car and joining a road, then a bit of speed negates the problem allowing me to enter the road at the same speed as the traffic. But with a caravan??? How does one do it safely? Plus, I will be sitting on the 'wrong' site of the car to see all. And at night....in the rain.....lost......
What if I am the one on the main road and somebody else is joining, and I can't change lane for them. Do I plough on or brake heavily, then they brake, next minute we would both be standing still (I've NEVER done this BTW).
Thanks
