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). but in your favour you have many years experience driving on the roads since them
2) There is pretty much no enforcement by the police or highways agency. Not sure about that 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.
tend to agree with that
So be extra careful out there and keep it shiny side up.
