@johnm wouldn't make any difference. Most of them would then have to speed up to 50mph.

I agree, however worry that it is a task beyond reach.
Generally I've suggested the standard of driving is atrocious in terms of spacial awareness. Specifically there is an inability to overtake, a pet annoyance. More ridiculous, but a source of amusement rather than annoyance, is the inability to move out and pass a car that is slowing to turn left. Invariably arriving at the airfield I signal in plenty time that I am turning left off the 60mph road and noting there is nothing coming in the opposite direction I am bemused at the number of cars behind that slow, at times only accelerating when I am clear. Never even seems to enter their head to move across and pass.
I have a theory that much of the lacking in driving competence is masked by the fact there is so much traffic.

@johnm, would it not be more sensible to raise the basic standard of driving training/test?
