Re: Exactly what problem does this solve?

You are aware that country roads are amongst the most dangerous in the UK?

(Here is Worcestershire's)

(click on by road type)

Living in a semi-rural location, it's not uncommon to see a car in a ditch or hedge, which if occurred after about midnight, may not have a car pass it for an hour or more?

Even if earlier, if it's dark it may not been seen until the next day.

So in answer to your question, it isn't that uncommon. Oh and I get a cracking 4G signal thanks (but oddly a lousy 3g signal).

Now think how much of France, Italy, Germany and so on are less densely populated than the UK.

Oh add the that even in a busy area, if you've smacked it into a tree and someone has stopped, they may not even have a clue what road they are on and exactly where they are on that road.
