Hi Matt!
>Goodness i would not be taking any road trips in London......
I really don't blame you mate!..you wouldn't get very far lol..there was this experiment 'race' done afew months ago just to show how bad the traffic is in London...It was 1 man *running* vs 1 man driving a car. The race through London was the London Marathon route (so 26 mile race.)
Anyway..they set off at 8:15am or something on an average weekday morning ~ and yep the man *running* beat the man driving the car!...that was a 26 mile race and the man on foot wasn't even an athlete or any special kind of long distance runner lol..although he must of had a pretty good stamina!
Just goes to show the average speed of which you travel through London in a car though..and at quite a cost lol
Kind regards
Nick
