It's getting like America in Bristol these days - every junction and
almost every roundabout now has traffic lights (there are over 100 posts
in the centre alone now!). As a result many of the driving public have
no idea about safe or sensible driving.
IMHO, A skid-pan should be part of the driving test too.
