Subject: RE: BS: Advice for North American driving in UK
Don't do what I did the first time I was going to drive on the continent...I practised for a few miles in England...Bloody disaster....(just joking).

Apart from a few rules (like Bills No Left on Red and give way to the traffic from the right at islands) you will have no problems at all. It takes an hour or two of caution and then it starts to feel "normal".

Turning right at T-Junctions require you remember to take the left side of the road (I take left's in France and have once or twice accelerated for a second or two in the left hand lane).

You will soon find yourself enjoying it.

Spot.
