Malta - Maltese Toni
Hi

Having just spent a week on Malta, I can confirm that the most dangerous drivers (overtaking? It's not a problem.......anywhere!) with the most appalling cars (including Morris Marinas) on the worst roads (resurface the roads? Why bother? What's wrong with potholes and mirror smooth surfaces?) are not in the UK but here in Malta.

I can only assume that, after several decades of peace on the Island, the typical Maltese driver feels the need to confirm the violent and warlike nature of the island's inhabitants by cutting up all and sundry at any opportunity.

The tourist's rental vehicle of choice? I suggest a skip lorry.

There, I feel better now, thank you

PS My 13 year old son has today demonstrated a complete lack of mechanical sympathy when testing the "jeep" off-road...........so just like his Dad then!
