Driving Standards.

[RogerL]

Must admit whenever we go South into England it is noticeable the further South you go the worse the driving gets. There are idiots up here but in general Scottish drivers do seem to be better and are more tollerantl. Getting there first seems to be the order of the day in the South possibly due to the higher density of the trafic there.

My observation when I was working was that aggression levels are higher the further south you go - having lived in London at one point I was never phased by the level of aggression there but after a week I'd be so used to it that going back to Birmingham saw me driving like a madman compared to the not-quite-so-mad Brummies.

And certainly the ability to cope with snow is directly proportional to the distance from Charing Cross !
