Yes, in the UK, driving in big cities is often inconvenient
In the UK, local government does not encourage the use of private vehicles in cities
In the UK, even in smaller cities and towns it seems that there is a vendetta by local government to make driving a private vehicle both inconvenient and slow. The use of unnecessary traffic lights, one way systems, speed bumps, partially blocked roads, one way systems and commission-based traffic wardens, all contribute to making one's journey a tiresome and unpleasant experience. If you talk to any taxi driver in any city, they will confirm all of these facts!
