When the Unexpected Happens — We Stop for Ducks

At Plus Chauffeurs, we’ve seen a lot on the roads. From busy airport runs to tranquil countryside drives, no two journeys are ever the same. But every so often, something uniquely British stops us in our tracks — literally.

While travelling through Netley, one of our chauffeurs found themselves in a rather unusual queue. No roadworks, no diversions… just a determined mother duck and her fluffy line of ducklings, confidently waddling across the tarmac, taking their time.

Needless to say, our driver did what any polite professional would: stopped the car, watched the crossing unfold, and managed to capture this beautiful, peaceful moment on camera.

Netley: A Lovely Route, Even With Ducks

Located on the coast between Southampton and Hamble, Netley is a charming part of Hampshire that blends coastal scenery with leafy residential roads. It’s not uncommon for our drivers to pass through here when travelling to and from:

• Southampton Cruise Terminals

• Heathrow or Gatwick Airport

• Corporate drop-offs in Hamble, Fareham or Portsmouth

• New Forest private residences

But it’s not every day we find ourselves pausing for ducks.

This small delay caused a temporary build-up of traffic — but in true British spirit, nobody honked. In fact, other drivers smiled and waited patiently, many with phones out, enjoying the moment as much as we did.

Reflecting Our Chauffeur Values (Feathers and All)

While this moment was light-hearted, it actually says a lot about the type of service we aim to deliver:

• Patience and courtesy: Whether it’s other drivers, animals, or last-minute route changes — our chauffeurs stay calm and professional.

• Local knowledge: Familiar with roads like those in Netley, we adjust smoothly to rural routes, diversions or slower traffic.

• Attention to detail: Whether assisting a high-end client or quietly observing wildlife, we take pride in doing things thoughtfully.

• Respect for surroundings: We care about people, places — and yes, ducks too!
