- As a Coventry car driver I must defend our ring-road , there's never any
- difficulty except when you try to use it !!!!!!! I think it's wonderful , after
- a couple of years driving it I'm thinking of joining the Red Arrows. I'm sure
- they must practice some of those cross-over stunts here !!! A car with a
- decent acceleration is an essential to survive fitting into a slot on the ring-
- road before you run out of road.
- BTW you should try using it at the moment , they are resurfacing it and there
- are bollards everywhere and and no road markings.............brilliant.!!!!!!
