We had to hire a van at work today while our vehicle was serviced, and I picked it up and took it back. I just spent 45 minutes in crawling traffic across town, a trip I could have cycled in 15. No wonder drivers get so wound up!
Although I only saw one piece of idiocy, a van driver who squeezed through past me at a traffic light/crossing, mounting the kerb to get by, in order to get into the right filter lane further on. Otherwise, a fair bit of letting in at junctions and lane changes and so on. Still, I wouldn't like to have to do it every day.
I actually chose to walk a slightly longer way home by the river, instead of the pavement by the road, just for the relative peace....
