I asked the same thing on another thread a while back, and got gently flamed, which made me think.
When I asked it, I was thinking of the roads that I tend to drive which are the main ones from Stockwell to where-ever. The replies were obviously focussing on the many miles of back roads with lots of parking, residential properties, cats, poor visibilty on corners due to parked up transit vans etc. I was still dubious, decidedly to look for some proof I was right, and sadly found the opposite.
The problem is, I think, too many drivers are idiots, but behave slightly better when told too.
