Exactly!

I would much prefer go for a drive in the isolation of my own car rather than go for a walk and try to zigzag between other people 'exercising' on the streets.

This^^^

I have spent more time crossing the road to avoid panting joggers than I have ever done in simply crossing the road for a practical purpose. In fact, the joggers idea of social distancing seems to be, "if you see me coming then you better get out of my way, because nothing is going to stop me from getting my run in", and there are absolutely oodles of people out on the streets now because we are all sick of being cooped up.

Down here in Australia, you can't travel in a car unless it is essential, you can't go fishing on your own, but you can wander the streets aimlessly, because it is considered exercise. People are doing that here in numbers that can only be described as congregating. And that is not an exaggeration. There are less people in my local supermarket than there are wandering down the footpath!

Also, the police are now stopping people to ask what their business is, and also targeting cars with lots of passengers in them to make sure that they are of the same household.
