00:00How bad do you think the roads are here, and do you think roads are better in Europe than they are in the UK?

00:06Everything is crumbling in the UK after austerity.

00:10So everybody knows, I'm not a driver, but everyone knows about potholes,

00:14and this is because under austerity councils used cheaper asphalt,

00:22which wears out after about a year, whereas before they were doing it and it lasted ten.

00:27And of course with the cost of living and inflation, then everything costs more to do later anyway, so it's not just the roads.

00:34I think the roads in London are bad, definitely a lot of potholes.

00:38There's a lot of roads that are locked off now due to the bus routes and everything changing,

00:42so you can't really drive anywhere.

00:44Everywhere is now 20 miles per hour as well, so you can't even use your 30-mile minimum speed.

00:50Europe, a lot of roads are cleaner.

00:52I've been there and travelled a lot of times, and I feel like a lot of roads are, there's less traffic, it's easier to get by in general.
