Driving
At one time the British were known throughout the world as a nation of courteous and careful drivers. We motored quietly along in our Rovers and Rolls Royces, our Minis and our Morrises, stopping occasionally to let an old lady or a flock of a sheep cross the road. In recent years standards have fallen and the government has introduced all kinds of measures to encourage better driving, including voucher parking, speed cameras, traffic cones, congestion charges and road rages. The last of these requires motorists to stop their cars and threaten each other with violence if they believe this olde-worlde courtesy has been breached in any way. The True Briti still maintains many of the noble motoring traditions in this country, such as stopping at red lights and giving way to hedgehogs. As for the famous question which 'side' are you on? Well, of course, in Britain right is wrong and left is right. Will we ever change? Not likely! The True Brit would rather abandon his car altogether and walk (which, come to thinks of it, he's doing more and more these days)

Very good! I like the 'tongue in cheek' reference to the government introducing 'road rage'! Only a couple of typos - 'Briti' and, in the last sentence it should read 'come to think ....'
