Interesting read, confirming what many Brits think about the American driving test.
An American tribute to British drivers - The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/02/uk-driving-law-versus-us)
I did like this bit:
In the course of my studies I had to learn all those charming British motoring terms. To me, many of the terms sounded more like names for rock and folk bands. You know, when I was a teenager I loved heavy metal bands like Kerb, Slip Road, and MOT, and punk bands like The Rising Bollards. Now that I'm older, I prefer the gentler acoustic sound of bands like Soft Verge, Central Reservation, Pelican Crossing, Gantry Sign, and Urban Clearway, though I can still dig the pop-punk energy of Double Mini Roundabout.
