| |  WARNING!! Especially if you live SW England...
Because I bought a car.
I have held UK Full Licence for 9 years (10 1/2 years in total, as I got the licence in Japan originally), but have hardly driven for... 9 years.  
If you see H-reg silver coloured Nissan Micra 1.2 GSX near Exeter/Exmouth, driven by a Japanese woman, avoid at all cost.
Thanks.
M

| | @Yshania: Free? I'm terrified. It's okay if I'm just driving around here, because there's hardly any possibilities hitting other cars or people. Chickens, maybe, or sheep...  I'll give them warning. I might end up in a ditch, but that shouldn't be too much problem.
@Weasel: Yup, but mine is much older.

This is it, isn't it? I always avoid Japanese drivers - it's a survival instinct.

And re the sheep, Mr Sleepy is the best to advise on how to avoid livestock
That said, he failed to warn me that we would be driving through a field of bold horses when we went to his house, suddenly the MR2 felt a very small car indeed
