So far as I can tell the driving test is just enough to stop you killing yourself or other people. It doesn't make you a competent driver, that comes with experience.
There are several factors which affect the standard of driving on the roads.
1) There are a lot more vehicles on the roads now than when I learned to drive. (OK, I'm an old git).
2) There is pretty much no enforcement by the police or highways agency. So people just do what they like.
3) There are some people who clearly just don't give a s**t. They will ignore any laws that don't suit them. That includes driving where they shouldn't, turning or changing lanes without warning, and generally driving like c**ts.
So be extra careful out there and keep it shiny side up.
