"I rarely see drivers ignore red lights, though I have seen it."
That's interesting. It's like a free-for-all here in the Midlands. Very few people indicate, very few stick to their lane. It's getting terribly dangerous some days. There's people crossing red lights and one-way streets often too. You can't go a week without seeing someone drving anti-clockwise on a roundabout.
Near me we have one of those pedestrianised roads in the middle of town that's only for buses, taxis and cyclists...It's made over £2 million in 2 years from people not reading the signs on every post and driving through anyway.
I guess i should say "your region may vary"
