I am sure someone with more recent experience than me can correct me but growing up in the UK I don’t think they were as anal as they are over here about cutting corners. It was not uncommon to hear the phrase that as they had paid to use the road they would use the full road. This is partly behind my reasoning for happily cutting a right hand corner if I can see clearly that it is safe to do so. Failure to remain in the correct lane was not an offence in the UK like it is here, at least back then.
Happy to be corrected, but like Top Gear, that’s the way we did it.
