Subject: RE: BS: Advice for North American driving in UK
Get used to turning on your signals when you want to wipe your windshield. And realize that the reverse will happen when you get back! Also, to stay in your lane is easy - staying in the right PART of your lane (so that the car is in the lane too, not in the ditches where I kept having it since I'm used to my car itself being on the other side of me) is hard. My sister who drove in Hong Kong says to keep the opposite front corner of the car, according to your vantage point sitting in the driver's seat, lined up with the center line. Try it at home, see which fender lines up, and abroad, keep the OTHER fender lined up. And don't go left OR right without stopping, or you'll guess wrong which one you can do. Enjoy!
