Can't speak for anywhere else but London. Car drivers in London get away with murder, literally. I see dickheads watching televisions in their cars on the Marylebone Road and Westway. Most of these cretins don't know what a mirror is for, think the reason there are two head lights and two rear lights is because one's a spare, and think the orange light at each corner is there so they can stop and park anywhere while all four are flashing. A red traffic light in London means another two or three can carry on through, and speed limits mean nothing at all. Having had a friend killed by one of these arseholes on the phone, I would treat it the same as drink or drug driving and give them at least a years ban. Actually if I had my way it would be a game of russian roulette by the side of the road, as that's what they are doing with the lives of those around them.
