He forgot about one of the most important issue on our roads. How to handle the wild & not so wild life that have developed a affinity for tarred surfaces. Having had 3 encounters myself during my long drives I must say that it is another skill which has to be developed. What with grazing cows, buffaloes, pigs, etc. Welcome back anyway. Give us details about your last trip. Cheers Unni Nicely written.
