Driving in the UK

Written by kevin

Last week I spotted a link to this Wall Street Journal article in Jim Romenesko’s Obscure Store and Reading Room.

Some of the quotes are pretty easy to laugh at (hint: it’s about being in control of the car, stupid!):

It also calls for such maneuvers as driving backwards around a corner and up the street along the curb. Touch the curb with the wheel and you flunk.

My favourite part is the way they completely fail to connect “Britain’s pass rate is under 44% and falling” with “Britain has one of the world’s lowest auto fatality rates”.
