In it there is also a line suggesting traffic levels back to those of the mid fifties, I was wondering how far back we’d have to go for these levels. I’ve just got back in from my daily exercise and my view is that cars are travelling more quickly than normal (even allowing for the quiet roads). My impression is that cars overtaking are more considerate but that oncoming cars are going faster.

On vocabulary, I find it interesting that the headline has 'motorists' as a collective term, but the article has 'driver' only in the singular.
