I'm sure it's not necessary to tell you, but humour's a funny thing. So please note that Scabby Doug's advice (7.23) might be just a little dodgy...

As for turning on red and overtaking on the nearside, whether they are sensible or not, in the UK they are illegal, and are likely to be dangerous since people don't expect it. (And since the only people I've seen recommending the change are a few Conservatives, there's no great likelihood of them coming in just yet awhile. Fortunately, in my opinion.)

I can't imagine how it's possible to do without roundabouts - but then I live in Harlow. Roundabouts are to Harlow what canals are to Venice. If you aren't able to get across them you can't move more than a few yards.
