That's why, although there are some nice places in Dorset, it's not somewhere I look forward to driving to/through due to its awful roads. Chasing limit points and constantly looking for overtaking opportunities that rarely materialise starts to get very tedious after the first 50 or so miles. Motorways are only as boring as you make them. If you take the trouble, they can be just as interesting as "interesting" roads. It just depends on how much interest you take, I suppose.
Living only a short distance from a major motorway intersection is the way to go if you want to get on with your life.
....and what exactly constitutes getting on with one's life? Mine seems to be going OK without the aid of motorways; and without making much use of the car either, for that matter..
