I go along the contra flow
It takes me where I want to go

I’m driving slow, in the Gatso zone

This traffic queue will make me late
I might take a Welcome Break™
Maybe I’ll take an A road? dual carriageway? slip road?

Lane discipline is not what it should be,
not as good as it is on the autobahn in Germany
Generally a lower speed limit as well.

(Although it is a misnomer to believe that the autobahns do not have a speed limit, they do they are rigorously enforced. But when there is no speed limit they are quicker than the motorways in Britain.)
