The bottom line is that 'The Great British Motorist' (Copyright the AA) is all but out of control and no one has the political will to challenge their habitual law breaking, never mind their habit of intimidating, maiming and killing other road users. It's all a symptom of Britain's decline into hierarchical-authoritarian or downright fascist politics where the dominant groups in society expect to get away with behaving however they please whilst the misdemeanours of low status groups, such as down and outs and even 'pavement cyclists', are met with 'zero tolerance' policing, legions of Community support officers and all the rest...

Indeed. I was out on a historical walk in Dulwich on Sunday. The South Circular road was backed up due to a lane restriction.
