Driving in Britain

When driving in Britain, all the standard rules apply, of course, but here we have listed a few tips and hints to help make your driving experience a better one.

Driving in the UK is on the left-hand-side of the road.

Speed limits are to be observed at all times.
These limits are:
30mph (50kph) in urban areas
60mph (96kph) on two-way roads away from urban areas
70mph (112 kph) on motorways and dual carriageways

Camping vans or cars towing a caravan are restricted to:
50 mph (80kph) on normal roads away from urban areas
60mph (96kph) on dual-carraigeways.

It is illegal to drink and drive and penalties are very severe.

Seat belts are compulsory when fitted in the car.

No parking is allowed at any time on double yellow lines, nor is it
allowed on single yellow lines between 8.30 and 18.30 on weekdays.
