38.6 million cars on UK roads today, that means that just about half the population are drivers - all at the same time. When you can assume that 1/3 of the population aren't old enough to drive, 1/6th too old to care about driving, another 1/6th either can't afford a car or don't drive a car or for other reasons unable to drive, it leaves about 20 million of us to drive the said 38.6 million cars. We sleep or rest for 12 hours a day, work for 7 hours a day (yes, some of us drive for work), so for 5 hours we have the chance to drive approx 2 cars (at the same time) , however I suspect that the majority of us drive for less than 2 hours a day, so why are our roads so congested ??
