Thanks for the replies mrsroynie & Chris - much appreciated and just the sort of information I was after.
I haven't given much thought to these 3 countries up to now and they didn't previously hold very much appeal to me. I was (am) in 2 minds as to whether to just quickly transit through them in one day on the main road south to get into Poland quickly, or to spend and extra day or 2 and explore the back roads and the landscape a bit. Your descriptions of the road conditions and standard of driving is a little worrying to say the least and it doesn't sound like much fun. From what I can see of the landscape it is exceptionally flat and rather uninteresting. So, all things considered, I am leaning towards shooting straight through unless I can find a particularly scenic route to enjoy.
Thanks for the link for the YouTube guide to Estonia - it is very informative and clearly highlights the areas that are "not recommend" - brilliant!
