simians Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I always keep a wary eye out looking well ahead for signs of commercial vehicles, but I've been caught out at times following local shortarse sevel vans or transits, particularly by acute angle 'bends'. Medieval Spanish streets and modern 8m vehicles not always a good mix! The round Gibraltar circuit catches the odd motorhomer out, it's very easy to accidentally detour off the much preferred route, then at one particular point be faced with a tight left turn, not unknown for a cop to direct/advise a sweating motorhome driver to shunt a badly parked car out the way, so as to make room!

spirou Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 When you're so goal oriented near the finish line, you forget why you're there and what you're doing. Or sunk cost fallacy. Hard to understand and absolutely stupid in hindsight. But hard to recognize and admit to yourself while you're in it. Also, being good in reversing out of tight spots is always a good idea.
