Britain's roads are becoming unusable
The traffic over this Bank Holiday weekend will be as bad as ever. The potholes will puncture tens of thousands of tyres, traffic will back up along the A-Roads towards the coast, and there will be the traditional lane closures on all the major motorways. Driving around the UK has always been challenging, to put it mildly, and anyone who tries to get any distance across the country has to be ready to navigate a whole series of obstacles. The trouble is that it is getting much worse. From delivery drivers and cyclists to fines, Britain's roads are becoming unusable – and that needs to be fixed before the whole country grinds to a complete halt. It would be easy to dismiss the residents of the leafy West London district of Fulham who are objecting to a new 24-hour McDonalds as typically prosperous, selfish Lib Dem-voting Nimbys. If it was an organic, artisan bakery – although obviously not hyper-capitalist Gail's – they would probably be delighted. And yet, this time they may have a point. A 24-hour fast food restaurant quickly becomes a magnet for delivery bikers who clog up the roads, wobbling haphazardly along streets they hardly know, staring into their phones as they try and find their way to a destination they have clearly never heard of. It turns quiet residential streets into death traps for anyone trying to drive to collect their kids from school, or pop out to the supermarket. With an estimated 240,000 food and delivery drivers in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics, and with the real number likely to be far higher, given that they are not exactly famous for registering with the tax authorities, the guys with the big backpacks now effectively own many streets. They have squeezed out all the other vehicles trying to get around. That is just one way that the roads have become impossible. There are learner drivers who have little clue what they are actually doing, and are now a danger not just to themselves, but to anyone else driving a car along the same road. Given that it is now virtually impossible to book a driving test – with average wait times of at least 22 weeks – many of them never actually become proper, experienced drivers. They are stuck in 'learner hell' forever. And then of course there are the cyclists, who seem to have decided collectively that traffic signals and bus lanes only apply to four-wheeled modes of transport. The days when you could drive confidently through a green light are long gone; a cyclist may well be whizzing in the opposite direction. Sure, they may well be committing numerous offences as they brazenly ignore traffic rules. But in city centres where the police no longer bother to stop shoplifting, we can hardly expect them to punish cyclists. The law is routinely ignored. Perhaps worst of all, many councils have worked out that the only way they can possibly pay for all the asylum seekers they are obliged to house is to squeeze as much money as possible out of motorists. Junction 17 to 18 of the M25 collects more than £500,000 a year in fines, while the A1 in Great Ponton makes more than £600,000. Box junctions have turned into cash registers, and parking spaces are gold mines to be ruthlessly exploited. What started as a sensible way of controlling bad driving, and rationing scarce parking space, has turned into a tax. It goes up every year, and the motorist has no option but to pay up, especially as fines double if you do not settle them immediately. In reality, this is crazy. Driving is essential to the nation's life, and to its economy. People need to get out and about to see friends, visit their families, and to go to a restaurant or shopping. Businesses need to make deliveries, to stock warehouses, and ship raw materials into their factories. There is almost no form of economic or social activity that does not involve a car or a van at some point in the process. The UK is fast turning into a country where it is no longer possible to get from A to B – and that needs to be fixed before the nation grinds to a complete halt.
