Cambridge's (western) catchment area for a few years and my car literally knew it's own way for the less than one hour journey along the A14 & M6
That's somewhere closer to Birmingham than Kettering, which in fairness isn't really Cambridge's catchment area at all. (Though admittedly it's a small catchment area, which is part of Cambridge's problem.)
(Either that or I hope the police understood when you explained to them that it was the car driving itself ;-) )
