Habitual sloppy driving habits are rife - like cutting the corner or turning into a junction without checking the road isn’t blocked by oncoming traffic or failing to slow down at a zebra on the assumption that pedestrians will clear the crossing in time. Not just bad manners, sadly can be lethal.

While many drivers are careful and considerate, I see a huge amount of dangerous and aggressive driving on London's roads - and very little enforcement. Drivers aren't worse than other road users. But motor vehicles do far more damage than other machines when poorly controlled or recklessly driven.
