What has got worse, not better, over time?

[Clinton Huxley]

The climate, obvs.

Actually better around ol'blighty.

We'll hold out, after most of the planet becomes a plague riven hell hole - if we only vote UKIP.

Rev's starter motor...definite fail.

Huh?

It's ironic that cars have got so much better over the last sixty years.
But driving has got so much worse.
You're always up someone's ass. With someone up your ass.
And fucking white lines and yellow lines everywhere. And nowhere to park.

I remember when driving was NICE. Mind you, you could never be sure of getting home.
But if you broke down, someone would always stop and give you a lift.
Not any more.

Driving in country Australia is still very nice.

Unless you hit a roo...

[pErvinalia]

Or a roo hits you...

I have to admit, it's shit in the UK. But, at least our roads have BENDS. And scenery that changes now and then.
I get over the traffic problem by jumping on my VFR 800. If it's dry. And warm. And I don't need to carry anything big. And it's just me.
Freedom eh?

Weird. Not only have cars and roads become better in Australia, but so has the behaviour of drivers. Fuel prices have become worse, though.

True dat.
Chester is now an unnavigable shit-hole thanks to massively increased traffic volume, irresponsible planning, incessant roadworks and the closure of a major bridge over the railway due to pedestrian walkway safety issues (neither the council or the rail company want to pay to fix it and have come to a stalemate whereby the bridge has remained closed to traffic "until further notice").
Our council really do need a fucking good kick up the arse. Worthless bastards.
