Most of Hong Kong people are very familiar with the UK traffic system, as it was almost directly copied from the UK. When I first travelled in Taipei City, I just did not know why vehicles still could turn right even green light was on for pedestrians.

At Malaysia, likewise at Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand are left hand road and right hand side steering oriented, but at Malaysia some left hand steering cars can be seen on the road. 最有趣的是我們對汽車的術語都是源自英國詞語的變化,比如 Gostan, 後來知道是 go astern就是倒退的說法 牙箱,就是gear box變速箱的意思 手牙,就是manual transmission手動檔,自動牙,就是automatic transmission自動檔的說詞

thank you Susie for sharing this video, I learn a lot.
The driving culture you share sounds quite similar to Australia. Flashing lights to the cars toward you could also be reminding those drivers that there is a speeding camera or a police checking block in front of them (behind me). In terms of overtaking, embarrassingly, I used the left lane frequently.
Thank you for your videos, you have given me a lot of knowledge about living in the UK. I love the UK, and I love your videos even more.

Years ago when I visited the Tower of London, I could had reached there easily by the Underground within 15 minutes. Instead I deliberately tried to find an old Road Master bus (I wanted a 1950s model, not the new one) to get there; the old buses only operated on no.5 and no.14 (maybe they were gone now). It took me some time to find the stop near Trafalgar square, and the bus took more than half an hour to the Tower Hill. The roads were indeed squeezy. But there was a kind old lady on the upper deck and introduced the streets and buildings we past such as the Fleet Street. So it did take longer in traffic, but it was a wonderful and worthy experience for a tourist.

So true with the flashing light to give way. When I first visited another country, they flash the front light to say ‘don’t go’, and I didn’t know, so I continued to cross the road and almost got run over
I live in UK, I drive both manual and automatic cars. Initially, I feel choosing manual car is pure economical reasons: costs less to buy, cost less to run, cost less to service and less likely to go wrong. But as time more on, I feel, at least for me, driving manual car is more expressive, I got a sense of connection and in control.
@rdmytuser66952 жыл бұрын
manual cars are LIGHTER in weight, BETTER for the fuel economy, and as a driver you are MORE ALERT of what's around the car while operating the vehicle, much CHEAPER and EASIER to service. Many people in the US born after the 80s don't know how to drive one anymore.

so relatable to driving habits in Hong Kong LOL - the parking, too many cars, the lanes, light gestures. Light flashing could mean "Giving way" and also "Get out of my way". The majority is automatic which is convenient, sure, but it's also boring

Hi, Susie, I had been driving in china for 7 years, now that I've driven in the UK for 6 months, here is How I thought, as a comparison of these two countries, Infurstruction quality(like how flat is your road)china is way better than the UK for most of the Motor-road and A- road (I found that UK roads are a bit narrower, which made me stressful). Uk has got a lot roundabout which is super convenient for small cities, (no traffic light and everyone's following the rule of giving way to your right-hand side vehicles). the Uk landscape is overall better than china, it's got so many green hills and cows, sheeps, sometimes your might come across old towns with very unique architecture. the traffic in the UK is way better than in China, I remember 2 miles could take up to 30 mins driving in china if you are in the busy city centre area. they all have pros and cons, but generally, I am so enjoying driving in the UK, but the petrol price is so high compare to china.

It's funny since I find your bullet points all quite valid given my experience driving in the UK. As an experienced driver in the US, I rented (you guys say hire) a car in the UK in summer 2016 for a week - did a one-way trip all the way from outside of London (we took a train from London to Reading and picked up our car there) all the way to the Highlands in Scotland. It was fun yet we also experienced quite some nerve-wracking moments. No offense but I felt that people on the road were in general more impatient and less helpful in the UK compared to the US. On my first day there was a narrow winding country lane with a speed limit of 50+ so I was driving cautiously maybe 5 miles lower than the speed limit, and when the car behind us was able to finally pass us they yelled and gave us the middle finger; I never experienced that in the US. Parallel parking was also quite tricky given the narrow street and tight spot compared to the US, and how people were honking at you when you were a bit slow (even in Oxford). But other than that everything was awesome!! Roads were nice even though a bit on the narrow side for B roads, and signs were super helpful. And by the end I got the hang of it with roundabouts - how you just read the sign for where you're going and move to the correct lane. Can't wait to do a road trip again in the UK!!

You should emphasize how well the driving ethic is in the U.K. compared to Asia, such as give way to the car from your right hand side, how safe and convenient roundabout is, how drivers behave when they are across a pedestrian cross, people don’t beep, they flash light to give way, on motorway drivers change to the middle lane to give way to cars enter the motorway from a junction, drivers say thank you by flashing the tail emergency light etc

Country lanes are scary indeed during busy hours. Stone hedges 30cm to your left, 60 mph cars 30cm to your right. And you need to keep 60 mph even at sharp turns.
You can buy Tesla model S, E, X, Y, whatever, in the future. 1.You don’t need to worry about the gear stick anymore. 2.You don’t even need to worry how to park your car with autopilot in the future. 3.In the other hand, it’s friendly for the environment. You may know the climate change is getting worse year by year. That’s why Paris Agreement need to be regulated. 4.By the way, my job is about environment.😜

I drove in UK for 2 weeks, and it was a great experience. I drove a brand new Audi A3 which is quite fun to drive. I drove to the British Museum, drove to Arsenal's home stadium, and found nothing uncomfortable driving in London. I also drove 110mph on highway, following a VW Scirocco and an Audi A5 (of course they were racing).
Hi Susie, I am a driving instructor, glad to see your video about the UK driving. I need correct you that, as high way code said, flash means attention me, I am here, do not put me in danger. So it is warning signal.

我覺得台灣和英國開車最大的差別就是在於英國開車要和周圍的車子互動,像是禮讓對方來車( 或者是被禮讓 )眼神手勢都要有互動等於是一種互動的語言, 在台灣開車基本上是根本不在乎不顧慮其他人, 所以這是我來到英國開車花很多時間適應的地方。 倫敦開車就切記慢慢開就對了, 在曼徹斯特開車我絕對不建議, 因為一定會被開單,bus line 標示非常的不清楚
