"We have a road system hostile to drivers"
No we don't. There were 23,530 dead or seriously injured in the UK in 2013. As with smoking, if driving were invented today there would be many more restrictions than there are. In car entertainment systems which distract, vehicles which can exceed 70 mph, smoking in a moving vehicle, not allowing pedestrians absolute right of way when not on a main road, not making all drivers pass an advanced driving / HGV level of test, allowing motorcycles to filter (allowing motorcycles at all?) - the list is long
I own 2 cars, 2 bicycles and a motorcycle, btw.
