Jeremy Clarkson says there’s one dangerous issue that all Brits have ‘learned to accept’ after almost crashing car

Jeremy Clarkson has claimed there's the one issue that's befallen British roads which we have 'learned to accept' over the years.

The TV presenter, best known for his time on Top Gear and now Clarkson's Farm, opened up on some of the issues the UK faces in a recent column.

Clarkson recently 'ended' his partnership with long-time on-screen pals, James May and Richard Hammond, as they dissolved their production company, W Chump and Sons, with the final episode of The Grand Tour filmed and coming out sometime soon.

But, this hasn't stopped him from staying in touch with his old mates, as he explained in the column.

The 64-year-old wrote a piece for The Sun recently, highlighting the time he 'nearly had a crash' while on his way to see former co-star Hammond.

Clarkson complained about the gruelling 50-mile journey in his 'expensive and very snazzy Mercedes' which took him two hours to complete.

He claimed this was because Britain's roads are 'falling apart', which was apparently a symbol of the country overall.

As well as noting the 'sheer awfulness of the road surface', Clarkson asked how long Brits will have to ‘put up with the collapse of the country’ until something is done.

But that wasn't his main issue with the journey, as Clarkson would explain: "I was on a main road and the red traffic lights ahead were completely obscured by overhanging branches.

"That never used to happen. It does now. And we’ve learned to accept it."

The farm owner claimed that he almost crashed because of this, and suggests that the nation's neglect for small things like this result in the bigger problems that we often see on the news.

Clarkson's former co-star May had previously shared his thoughts on whether they could carry on making shows together in an interview with UNILAD, saying: "I think people would only really like us doing cars, despite what some people say - ‘Oh, I think you should all go off and do cooking or you should all go and do a podcast about nothing’.

“But I don’t think so, I think we should let it lie, what we did."

However, there was a glimmer of hope, as he added: "I'm sure there will be something, but it won't be as big as [The Grand Tour] and I don’t need it to be. I’ve done that."
