As I have said, it is the difference in drivers.  It only takes a few
arrogant idiots to screw things up horrendously (think 16-30 year olds
driving muscle or ego cars).  I honestly believe that the English driver,
perhaps because it is a more deferential society, are more courteous than
we Yanks.  Also, their driving laws are more rigorous , and it is very easy
to lose your license compared to the laxity of American laws and courts.
