I have... absolutley no idea. They probably do bit I would like to think that we Brit's have a degree of finesse, skill and attitude at a higher level than the others.

Recently, UK's DIA started operating in Poland. They've published a book by Paul Ripley (who I believe is well known in Britain isn't he?) and now organise advanced driving courses which are in principle based on Roadcraft (I believe).
But when you drive in Poland, beware - according to my estimates not more than 1% of drivers drive at least reasonably well. On average, roads here tend to be dangerous and many drivers do things you wouldn't believe...
