Everything was 100 miles per hour or 160 kilometres per hour and then full on<br />

brakes. I understood why they changed their tyres for the winter and summers,<br />

they thought they were all F1 drivers and liked the pit stops. Elly seemed as<br />

nervous a passenger as I was a driver, that could be said for me when she was<br />

driving as well. She seemed to wait until she got into the car until she’d start<br />

calling people. Sometimes she’d call people just to say hello.<br />

Poles loved to drive and talk. Blue tooth or hands free where alien concepts and<br />

if they weren’t talking they were eating or smoking. Nobody could just driver. It<br />

was like they required a distraction. <strong>The</strong> intricate ballet of constantly shifting<br />

lanes wasn’t enough, they needed more danger.<br />

I protested constantly about all the things that drove me crazy when I was<br />

driving but Elly and other Poles just shrugged it off. It wasn’t that they justified<br />

those actions. <strong>The</strong>y merely shrugged them off as if I was city boy trying to tame<br />

a horse to ride. It was the danger of the road. I think the Brits do the same with<br />

business, they shrug at people who don’t understand finance or contracts.<br />

You can’t work PowerPoint?<br />

Ha.<br />

You learn that shit in the uterus.<br />

For Poland they had that attitude to dangerous driving.
