Driving in the UK isn't so bad. After all...there are rules and infrastructure which leads to increased safety on the roads. But the rules part is where the downfall begins. If we look at London, we will see the full scale of how 'rules' and some what 'infrastructure' make driving a misery. In the capital the roads are small and heavily congested most times of the day, which makes your journey time a nightmare. When you actually reach your destination you'll find you may not be able to park anywhere, and if so, it would only be for a few hours (so make that visit a quick one). Also run the risk of getting a parking ticket (sometimes when your legally parked). Yes...it is that bad. Then you have car tax (which has yet nothing to show on road improvement). Dare to not have it displayed, then dare to come back to no car...tow it away they will!
As you get closer you get to the heart of the city, you'll stumble upon another great service. The CONGESTION CHARGE. Yes...another cost. Wish to drive in the designated zones within a certain time period, be prepared to pay £8($16) per day. Don't pay, then get fined. After going through this one may ask him/herself...whats the point. In which some have done so and moved away.
Every country has its pros and cons on this. But i think the main con here is just money grabbing government with to many rules.
The solution
Train by day, Car by night!
