Interesting, I'm closer to London than Guildford and ride around a few places not all that far from Guildford. Sure you get the odd asshat in a fast Audi once in a while (it's usually the saloons that are driven by morons, I've found the estates generally give me a lot of room unless they're the souped up RS4 or RS6 type) but on the whole I don't have a lot of trouble.
