After 40 years behind the wheel, I’ve never felt more anxious driving in the UK—here’s why, and how to stay legal without losing your focus
Speed Cameras. Sheesh. So listen, I’ve been driving for around forty years now. Across continents, cultures, and conditions that would make some sat-nav systems simply give up and blue screen. I’ve driven in the UK, across Europe, through the Middle East, around the United States, and in places where traffic laws are more of a philosophical suggestion than a legal requirement. I’ve navigated cities where lane discipline is an abstract concept, deserts where the horizon never seems to get any closer, and mountain roads that appear to have been designed by someone with a grudge against gravity.
And yet, despite all of that, I have never felt more anxious behind the wheel than I do today – right here in the UK.
