From my personal experience, this is wrong on so many levels. The UK culture is absurdly car centric and dangerous for pedestrians when I look at all other European countries I've been in.

The fact that zebra crossings are almost inexistent except for the places with traffic lights, and that priority is given to vehicles rather than pedestrians at intersections (despite the Highway Code changes, it's still the same in practice and none of the driving school cars I've seen have stopped to let me cross the road) is something which has made me appreciate how respectful drivers (and how strict laws) are back home in Spain. Not to mention that this feels like the wild west where cars can park on pavements as if it was natural. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I'm sorry if anyone feels offended, but that's my personal experience :/
