British chariots were more than transports, they were platforms for javileners, as well as platforms for leaders to command a battle from (at least in the case of Cassia and the Cenimages; the most prolific Cenimage tribe came to be the Icenes; better known as Iceni/Icenii, Boudicca led from a chariot). The chariot was also still used in Gaul. However, in Gaul, it was almost solely used as a transport, but still brought an amount of mobile firepower to the field, with javelins again. However, the Britons used it more effectively and notably as both a weapon platform, and as a transport. They were noted to be able to stop their chariots even if their draw-ponies were at full gallop, could turn as easily on slopes and inclines as they could on open plains, etc. British chariots were still in use by the people of Dumnonia AFTER the Romans (it's notable that the Dumnones were never actually Romanized, they were allies of Rome; the coming of Saxons and spread of Romanized Britons actually had a greater effect on them, including the end of chariot war for them).

Caesar said of British chariots, "They combine the mobility of cavalry, with the staying power of infantry."; He had never fought Gallic chariots, but they would likely have been seen the same way, as they were used the same way, but British charioteers were probably more skilled.
