We have driven around 60,000km this winter alone so we are on the road a lot and i suppose statistically we are going to see some... but the circumstances begger belief... being undertook through roadworks and the car losing control in front of us and having a head-on with a taxi the woman passenger dying at the scene

Witnessing a car being forced off the road by oncoming traffic and colliding with a barrier, which sliced through the car fatally injuring the occupents
Watching a speeding car lose control in heavy rain, leave the road, and somersault many times... etc etc etc.....
There is a car culture here, and it seems the bigger the motor (Merc M/S class, Audi Q7 etc) the bigger the idiot at the wheel...
Granted when your at the wheel of a 2 1/2 tonne LWB 9 seater bus, you take some intimidating, but they'll still sit on your bumper flashing... i just let em flash

re: Bansko update
Know exactly what you mean re bumper kissers.
On my commute we have huge stretches which are 30mph I stick the cruise control on @30mph but still get people catching me up and then nearly kissing my rear bumper and when I do glance in the rear view mirror arm gesturers... do I care/?? not one bit Im sticking to the legal limit and noone will force me to go any quicker - if those idiots want to go faster then overtake or is it that they want to do 32mph.. total joke.

Have seen a couple of pile ups on on the M4 and have got out to help thankfully noone in those times visably badly injured.
In Bulgaria most seem to have radar detectors and slow to limit when it flashes/m akes a noise & put on their seat belts then once past the police car race away while taking the seat belt off.
Am thinking next time I will state at the start of the trip - or to the organising company - driver must wear seatbelt at all times &/or actually say weve had a terrible flight feel really ill can you drive slowly the whole way & actually ask during the driving (if it gets too fast) sorry feeling too ill please slow down.
