Agreed - I'm not sure what it is its like when they see V O L V O on the rear of the car or an estate car they think I am going slow - in fact I am usually doing the speed limit, following the flow of the traffic albeit allowing a breaking space so I am not up the ar*e of the car in front - this is something else (leaving a breaking space) that appears to be a mystery to most others on the road these days. I have also noticed an increase in the number of people that think that if they indicate to change lanes on a motorway that makes it ok and gives them the god given right for them to cut others (me) up irrespective of what else is going on at the time.
I very much agree that the standard of driving has slipped and is "very often shocking-to say the least". This could have a lot of to with the increased reliance of ANPR/traffic/speed cameras and the lack of actual proper old fashioned policing - I think <tongue in cheek>Driving licenses are given away with packets of corn flakes</tongue in cheek> and at the risk of sounding like my dad (!) once someone has one it must be very hard indeed to loose your license once you have it.
