Absolutely, positively right. Furthermore, following this
protocol seems to result in British drivers paying far more attention
to their surroundings than American drivers. Since returning from
a business trip there it seems like American drivers in comparison are
poking along 10-15 mph slower, but in a complete trance. Listening
to the British traffic reports it seemed like there were far fewer
fender-benders on the greater London motorways than on the
greater SF Bay Area freeways.
This is one instance where I'd like to some of our state officials
take a foreign junket at taxpayers expense. It might open a few
eyes.
