Did anyone else find driving during the power outage very easy and calming without traffic lights?

I drove along the south circular towards brixton from HOP and the first lights that worked were in West Dulwich. Until that time, I thought traffic moved quite smoothly at intersections, with drivers paying attention, driving more slowly and also giving way and also giving each section their turn to go.

Was smooth traffic until I hit the 'stop and start ' at the traffic light at W. Dulwich.
