English drivers ARE better than average drivers around the world. Miles ahead of Yank or Australian drivers. I think even better than German drivers below 70mph but above 70, Brits get increasingly sloppy.

That is a big headed statement.

And quite insular, what about Scottish, Welsh or Irish drivers? People tend to be quite protective about their driving skill, criticising some peoples driving is like telling them they are rubbish in bed...

It's well known (or maybe common conjecture) that most English people believe their driving standard to be above average.

Well, by definition, half of us are right

Umm, no. Not if "average" is being taken as the usual mean, rather than the median.

Remember, the "average" person has fewer than two legs.
