Today we spent almost seven hours in the car travelling some of England’s finest most awful highways and byways.
The A52, A1, A1(M), M11, A12, M25, A13, A406, M11 (again), M25 (again), M1, A46…
So much awfulness it defies my attempts at description right now.
315 miles.
The weather was awful.
The roads (and I mean the condition of the roads) were awfuler.
And the majority of the other drivers were awfulest.
Honestly.
When did it stop being a requirement for people to take a driving test?
How long have we been allowing morons to be in total control of killing machines?
There were a lot of English villages missing their idiots today.
Because they were all on the roads.
Education (the whole driving test thing) doesn’t seem to be working.
The deterrent (3 points on a licence and £100 fine) doesn’t seem to be working either.
In the words of Jim Reeves, “Welcome to my world”.
I still think we should all be made to retake the test every ten years.
And tailgating on the motorway should carry the death penalty.
Lane hogging should be punishable by amputation of fingers. I don’t think many people would do it twice. Tailgaters should be made to drive into a brick wall. That’ll show them
Couldn’t agree with you more. Don’t know what it is about the British and their idea of how one should drive. M now refuses to drive in the UK. And on drives back to the UK you can tell when you are getting towards the tunnel and channel ports as the standard of motoring, particularly with regard to speed and lane discipline, worsen noticeably as the number of British drivers increase.
They’re idiots. They’re all idiots
