My new son-in-law's Dad drives in London frequently- he said it is so bad, that you can get a ticket if you even slow down in the wrong place (like near a parking spot). You get a camera ticket in the mail, and you do not get to even dispute it.
On a visit last year, he drove my daughter and his son around London, but they could not get out to go anywhere because parking is so expensive. You can take the train, but it is ridiculous as well.
After listening to them, England sounds really awful.
No wonder many nations are preparing to repel citizen revolts. I expect the same trend here in the US, especially if Obama takes office.
