Dear Britain, Nov. 3rd, 2009 @ 11:54 am
A couple of notes about driving, travel, and road design.

1) When it's raining, turn on your lights.

I know this doesn't actually illuminate the road at all in daytime. The point here is not to help you see - it's to help you be seen. In heavy spray, in heavy rain, your car is pretty much invisible. This is not good.

2) When designing traffic control for a road, use EITHER a roundabout OR traffic lights. NOT BOTH. The combination of the two is INSTANT GUARANTEED TRAFFIC SNARLS ALL THE TIME.

3) You know what's useful? Road signs. Including signs indicating the speed limit. Expecting that people will "just know" is really, really annoying to tourists. And we're supposed to be something you want, for the sake of your economy, which is still ailing rather badly.

I am sufficiently sick of driving in Britain that I am quite looking forward to going over to Europe.

No love,
Sami
