Travel expenses for returning a faulty goods?

Do you never go in that direction for any other reason?

Does the supermarket not have free parking? Very stressful city centre roads?

My thoughts are that, whilst you can reclaim the costs, you are making this far more difficult than it needs to be.

If the OP finds the roads stressful, they do. No point questioning it.

I disagree. When I learnt to drive the test covered stressful situations as that's just the way roads can be sometimes.

If someone finds driving stressful then that person being on the road will be a danger to others. They should wilfully stop driving if they find any roads stressful for the sake of other pedestrians/road users.

Quite simply they're admitting they're not fit to drive. Or are they just saying that to claim travel expenses?

Oh dear........

All over Europe when I travel on holidays sometimes, not every day.

who'd have thunk you could start a harmless thread and be banned from driving by the post 13 ( unlucky for some)

Do you not think drivers when they set out to drive (I'm planning to drive later in a cities rush hour) should have the skills to be able to handle whatever the roads and other road users throw at them?

It would be worrying if you think there should be people perfectly allowed on the road that can say only handle a country lane.

I'm well impressed that you are going to drive in the rush hour later, you're my hero. But this has nothing to do with the OP's question.

My test didn't cover stressful situations. Wonder if the OP's did?

That probably explains why most of this country can't cope with going faster than 40 in a 60 limit!

Do they? Never noticed so that "most of the country" statement appears to be incorrect.

If you find that stressful you might want to seek some counselling help.

I do not find driving stressful. I can also guarantee that any single carriageway A road I drive on today with a national speed limit I'll find myself most probably driving along at an average speed of 40 because of someone 10 cars infront who it's impossible to get past.

Unless there's a minimum speed it's fine to travel at 40 mph. Not everyone is a maniac on the roads.
