Pretty much! No guns, no knives, no protecting urself from being robbed/attacked, no loud exhausts, massive yearly taxes for large petrol engines, no plastic straws, no free carrier bags at stores. We also have hardly any real police to investigate real crime because they are all at the edge of the road giving out massive fines for speeding. That’s in addition to the millions of speed cameras dotted around the country 😡

Oh and then there is our immigration system, which is a free for all for anyone who wants to live here. They take more and more money from the hard working brits to give to the mass of illegals coming into the country for the free healthcare, housing and money. Then they join isis and try to blow us up as a thank you!!

Maybe we are worse than California?

With the right tires you should get a good launch.
