It occurred to me during a recent moment of sleeplessness that really what I was describing was a series of each of the three hazard types, according to roadcraft - so to re-arrange the list (added a couple):
-- Static --
Motorways, especially Glasgow's somewhat unique right-hand exits and merges
Country roads, as wide a range as possible from broad to narrow, twisty and straight
Urban environments, one-way systems
Multi-storey car parks
Fast food drive through (nice low speed manoeuvring)
Fords/bridges
Really steep hills
Narrow country lanes with limited passing places, where there is a likelihood of needing to reverse considerable distance.
Toll booths.
Tunnels
-- Dynamic --
Emergency vehicles
Rush hour traffic
-- Environmental --
Night & dusk
Rain/sleet/snow
Fresh/compacted snow, ice
High winds
Low angle sun, particularly if wet
Fog
Note that I'm not particularly expecting a reply to this, I'm just posting to collect my thoughts and highlight the link to roadcraft. Also because I can practically see the tumble weed across my screen when Iog on to ADUK these days - where is everyone?
