To be fair, if Princess Di had been driving I don't suppose she would have been doing 95 mph in a Paris underpass. Hi Incon,

I was behind her in a queue just before Christmas. She expertly managed to stop in a very long queue of traffic in the only place possible that she could completely block a junction and so snarl up all the traffic coming the other way. With my best chivalry hat on, I left her ample room to reverse in a straight line and so unblock the junction. Unfortunately she was unable to do this, three failed attempts at a straight reverse later - which way do you turn the wheel to go straight! - she stalled. Luckily, the driver of the van she had blocked was overcome not with road rage but uncontrolled laughter. I then followed her - in second - along a deserted road for about 400 yards before she abandoned/parked her car at the same garage I was going to. I hope your site is not read by too many of those conspiracy theory people, there may make a link with overtaking, death and Diana somewhere........ Hi Semper
