The road transport network in the UK continues to struggle with the demands placed on it. Today the roads were very busy in the dark early hours of the morning (6.30 - 7.00am). No doubt people are driving at this ridiculous time to (ironically) avoid the traffic at "rush hour". The system must be very close to breaking point.
As for quality of life, it's a poor quality of life having to get up in the pitch black and then struggle through the traffic, day in day out, over and over...
As a society we're doing something wrong. Why are we not utilising the opportunity to work from home much more!? Why are we allowing uncontrolled population growth? The demands of the population are exceeding the capacity of the national infrastructure: more houses are built but the roads stay the same. You don't have to be Einstein to see the flaw in that approach - do you?

Not all science is robust
Hundreds of thousands of categorised plant species are duplicates:

A project is in progress to rectify that, but it does go to show that not all science is as robust as you might expect.
"Expert" does not mean perfect.
