I had just arrived to teach teachers at the school on Lakenheath and had a rental car that I had picked up on base (after an overnight flight). I had a quick lesson on driving on the appropriate side of the road and was sent off to get gas on the base. I did, then got lost on base until I 'found' the 'highway' off the base. As I drove onto it, military police and trucks started following me and screaming at me. Guess where I had ended up somehow??? I was escorted off the runway and to the exit from the base. Fortunately (I guess), they did not have the authority to arrest me! That was a few decades ago...suspect much worse would have happened today.
