The Brits - Definately some of the worst drivers in Europe

[cptsideways]

Having just arrived back from a transcontinental European jolly the UK is catergorically dire when it comes to general driving standards.

I drive thousands of miles a year for work in the UK & obviously one just gets used to it? However upon arriving back in the UK it suddenly becomes apparent just how bad the standards are over here.

In our 2000 mile journey I think I can only think of three occasions where expletives were used to describe the drivers across Europe, yes thats 3 counts of "bad driving" spotted in 2000 miles. I think we lost count at 300 in the 200 miles of driving from Dover to home.

You would think we had descended into a 3rd world country if it was'nt for the new cars!

I'm guessing you've never been to anywhere with truly bad driving standards.

I have driven on many continents, and have driven across Africa a few times too, so am very familiar with driving in 3rd world countries. Hence my comparison to the UK standards.


Yes I appreciate its a lot busier over here especially on DC's & MW's, but half of it is down to lane discipline or the total lack of it.
