    And when you turn left at a red light, a lot of people stare. :hehe:

    Yes, because unlike in the US, turning left (would be right for the US) through a red light is not permitted. Can get you a fine and a stern talking to if there's a police officer nearby.

    I have little trouble driving in the UK. South Africa also drives on the left, and our road laws are similar enough. What gets me in Scotland are the single track roads, and the speeds that the locals drive down them.

    Single track road in thick fog? Not my idea of fun.
