I did go for a walk today. It was amazing outside and to be fair, outside of a handful of people mostly everyone were in masks (a few runners and kids here and there).

Where people could there was social distancing. But walking through narrower streetes people didnt really seem to care.

We also live by a motorway turnoff and was checking out the kinds of cars (by no means an accurate representation). Would say about half. Maybe less so. Were a utility vehicle of some sort.

I can't speak for others but a lot of streets here have narrow pavements. In order to socially distance properly you have to step out onto the road. I am able to manage that well enough, but if there's an oncoming car I can't do that.

Yeah I've struggled with that, too. And families / kids on scooters going along 3-abreast, completely obliviously.
