Perhaps she was OK with tunnels but the mere sight of the QE2 was
enough to set her off.

Unable to turn back? Last time I went that way, you could turn off right
up to the point where you paid the toll. In fact, checking on
Streetview, there's an escape lane a few yards after the toll booths.

If the driver wanted to avoid *all* bridges and tunnels on the way from
Kent to Essex, that's a *long* diversion unless you're not afraid to
take a boat trip, and I'm wondering how the driver got from Essex in the
first place.
