Is it me of has the general standard of driving gotten noticeably worse in the last 6 months..?
Its not just the last 6 months, I think its been declining for years. Millions of vehicles out on the roads these days without tax/insurance/mot/licence

I'm sorry but I just can't believe that's true. With all the ANPR camera about these days and the DVLAs ability to check and fine you digitally I find it hard to believe there are too many on the road compared to the late 80s early 90s.
My old man for one was driving since before I was born but never took his test until I was around 10, and he wasn't you only one. Back then we all knew plenty of people that just drove without anything as you had to be caught by the police and physically checked out.
These days the only people that drive about like that are the delinquent criminals and foreigners who pretend they have no clue.
I think (as with most things) you are all getting older and therefore everything that comes after you isn't as good in your opinion (just like the music)? but the truth being I doubt many of you would pass a modern driving test without extra training ?
