But you wouldn't drive through a red light, would you? Because that's likely to kill mummy and her children whilst they're innocently driving to school.
I am at 3am, when the lights are red, and no fikker is about.
We should not have to pander to people who cannot drive properly (or keep up with traffic, but that's another rant), traffic lights have no place on this roundabout, or virtually any other.
Honestly, I can't see why some people need to wait for rush hour to finish before pulling out. What will be next, a set of lights at every single junction?
You're gonna have to start facing up to the fact that our roads will just not be places for spirited driving of any sort, Jaime. From the point of view of someone who likes to drive the way that you do, things can only get worse. There are lots of knobheads behind the wheels of cars who, as you quite rightly point out, have no idea of how to keep traffic moving, and will wait for half an hour at a junction before pulling out. Plus there are lots (and many more to come) of older drivers who basically shouldn't be on the road.
But what do we do about it? You don't seriously think that the government will sanction a cull? I am very fortunate to live in a relatively unclogged part of the country, and I can, more or less, make good progress wherever I go. But even I realise that things will change for the worse, it is inevitable.
The main problem around these parts nowadays is the fact that every household has two cars, and the streets are becoming impassable during the evenings when everyone is at home.
