I think we drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK. I have driven in the states and found it far easier to adjust than it was to adjust back - to me that speaks volumes. I think speed has something to do with it as well, US driving is just so chilled at 50 mph, on the whole most stick to the law and its just so pleasurable.
85,90 and the occasional 110 mph in a BMW/Audi UK idiot drivers just make the whole experience hostile.
Don't get me wrong i can drive assertively and would probably make a good Police high speed pursuit driver (at least my ego thinks so).
I can throw a car around like a stunt driver at 30 mph - speed just gets you from A to B faster (or does it). You get idiots overtake and 10 mins later you either catch up or end up passing them. Whats that all about.
There is a time and a place or if you can get away with driving like a retard but doing it every day, madness.
Everyone behind the wheel thinks they are the best driver in the world or a racing driver - for the first only you know how good or bad you actually are and the second racing is carried out in controlled environments where the drivers all go in one direction (Demolition Darby exempt).
kids all think they can drive fast but forget its actually a precision thing, to drive at speed requires experience, concentration and precision not simply the act of driving like a retard. To position a car (or Bike) to take a corner and use the road and surroundings to your advantage to gain speed and precision isn't something speed freaks take into consideration and yet its the difference between first and last in a formula 1 car race.
If kids want to idealise the likes of Lewis Hamilton they should learn to drive like him - funnily enough i doubt he has a speeding ticket, go figure.
This obviously has nothing to do with an idiot carrying an unsafe load - oh where to start on that one. Remove idiot remove problem possibly.
