didn't Britain used to have the best road safety record in Europe? (the World?)

well now it must have one of the worst thanks to al the Imbecile Foreign Drivers on our Roads!

have they passed a test? as their Driving is utterly pathetic!!

do we get reduced insurance subsidised from the Government as it's their fault they are here in the first place?

Do you have some sort of foreigner detector? All the idiots I see have UK plates on their cars.

What i am seeing is a higher percentage of foreign plates in the midlands , on RHD cars - the standard of driving is not low , but the percentage of plates makes me wonder if it's as a result of ANPR and cameras?/

Do you mean LHD cars? How do you get foreign plates (unless Irish) on an RHD car?

I would say it's due to the large number of Poles, Lithuanians etc working in this country.
