Today in America. Yesterday actually

Lets see I drove through a snow storm on Donna Pass, California. Not a storm but if it snows they say it is a storm. Saw an SUV that went out of control, in the snow, 90 degrees @ 65 mph and went  under a truck trailer that was going 50 mph.

Drove for hours along very good straight dry roads in Nevada at 80-100mph with the occasional  car seen on the road. A totally different experience. I figured when I go over the crest of a hill and see another straight stretch of a road that I clocked at 30 miles and no cars.
700 miles in 12 hours. I'm a wreck!
Wish you all could experience the wide wild open spaces that exist.
I did enjoy the experience but I would trade it for a half hour driving or riding in the UK one lane country side.

Donna Pass huh? Is that because they only ate one and her name was Donna?    Last time I went through it was Donner Pass, but that was a few years ago they could have changed the name since then. 

It's the place where Doner meat was invented.

Ha!  A couple of days ago I nearly knocked the passenger side mirror off my car on a UK countryside one lane road, so as much as I appreciate your nostalgia for the roads of your homeland, I'll happily trade you for a road big enough for oncoming cars to pass each other comfortably.

I thought that was the North Pole 

I remember one time in the US, waiting for an eternity for a table at a Mexican restaurant in the town where I was living.  It was a leaving works do - my own, as I recall.  We had had a few drinks while we waited.  On the restaurant PA system, they kept calling for 'The Donner Party' to come up & be seated at their table.  Well The Donner Party never managed to show up.  I think they got too hungry while waiting...  That joke got funnier & funnier the longer we waited & the more we drank.

I can't believe I misspelled that.

Only nearly? You're not a true Brit yet!

I smashed the plastic cover off the front of the mirror and the actual mirror glass, but the mirror assembly is still attached.  The car was built by Germans, so it takes a lot to do real damage to it.
