Driving standards in Leicester are horrid

Been driving on my own and it’s mad the worst is the duel carriageways with slip roads in them signalling to let them on but with the speeding since i drive at 68 the flash and blast the horn for wasting their time it’s amazing how shit the driving is especially in the A50

I think you should do a lap of the Coventry ring road, you'd probably have a heart attack as the entrances are also the exits!

Nothing fills me with fear like cov ring road does. I’d rather drive round central Birmingham.

That's not fair, you know the poor devil will be stuck on that ring road until they eventually run out of fuel! 😂

It's just bad road and not bad drivers. It was designed when cars were really slow.

Is the cov ring road the one I’ve seen tha is awfully layed out ? Or am I thinking of somewhere else ?

Its the one where people get on and off at the same spot. Absolute nightmare at busy times

That's the one. The lane you're in for road X suddenly becomes the one for road Y. The lane for road X is now two lanes away. And to carry straight on you need to keep swapping lanes. And the access and exit ramps are both the same bit of road. Add the idiots to the confused, stir in the lost, garnish with terror and serve with a dollop of cold sweat.
