The road system has developed from narrow country lanes that have them selves developed from country tracks and laneways. England has still got a vast network of Green Lanes Ancient roads that are as the name implies are just unpaved tracks. Still roads in the strict sense of the word but most modern cars wouldn’t be able to drive on them, just 4X4`s. With that in mind small cars developed to cope with the size of the roads. We have 4 grades of roads 1-Motorways, A-roads, B-roads and green lanes.
Of course there is always the government trying to get there pint of blood out of the motorist. We have a Road Tax system that taxes you according to the size and BHP of the engine in your car. That has aided in the development of the small car over the years. Cheaper to run.
If you bought your car over here you would soon give it up as the price of fuel would be prohibitive to run it, and the sheer bulk of it would have you pulling your hair out at the roots. Parking it would be a nightmare. Besides someone in a Subaru Impretza would wipe the floor with you even in a straight drag race or round the twisty bits. This is only a general explination but it gives you an idea how the car culture developed.
If you do come over here, welcome, have fun and enjoy yourself.

Gas or as they say "petrol" is much more expensive over in the UK and Europe as well. This is mainly due to the high taxes the government has on fuel, but also due to the fact that they import all of their petrol. Anyway as a result, consumers have over time adapted to using smaller, and thus more fuel efficient vehicles. The same would occur here if the gas prices were $4+ a gallon, over time people would adapt to smaller cars.where can i find a small truck for not a lot of money?
For comparison purposes, gas is sold in the UK by the liter. There are 3.78 liters in 1 gallon. A liter of petrol is usually sold for around 95 pence (almost 1 pound). As of now, 1 pound is equal to 2 US dollars. So lets just use a pound per liter, that's 3.78 pounds per gallon, or $7.50 for a gallon of gas! When it averages around $2.20 a gallon here, you can see why they use so much less and drive smaller cars.
Is driving in the +/- all the time bad for the car?
cause the roads are smaller, there is less space to drive and park and gas is way more expensive.where can i buy a RealTree Camo Steering wheel cover?
plus their were not founded on cars as transportation as the main way to get around like the USA is. they rely on trains, subways, etc.
Because the roads are alot smaller in europe and because gas prices are higher then in the states. Also, London is a very big city and there is alot of traffic.
