    I’ve driven quite a lot in the US too. We once hired a car and went from Kissimmee to Miami Beach and it took ages but was definitely worth it to see the art deco houses etc. We also went from Washington DC to relatives in Virginia and to the outer banks and that was on Labour Day weekend so quite busy. I don’t mind driving on the other side or the traffic etc but I did struggle a bit with the distances, particularly as I’m vegetarian so getting veggie food in the US to avoid driving fatigue was not easy! A Caesar salad and a coke is not really enough to stay fuelled for long interstate driving!

    One observation when driving here in the UK.. when you are changing gear or adjusting the air con etc, you do with your left hand correct? That leaves your right hand controlling the steering correct? 90% of people are right handed so your dominant hand controls the car while the secondary tasks are completed with the left. If someone stepped out on you whilst changing gear for instance and you needed to swerve... which hand would you rather have on the steering wheel at the time??? UK making sense yet again ❤

    While pubs close at 11pm, in a city, it's likely that there will be a nearby night club or bar that could be open much later. They generally cater to a different type of clientele, and there may be age limits for entry, unlike pubs, which are generally more casual, and frequently family-oriented.

    You don't need an International Driving License to drive here. You can drive on a foreign Driving License in the UK for one year following the date of your arrival. And, frankly, International Driving Licenses are not really a "Thing" here any more, we haven't recognised them for many, many years. 🙂
    As for looking right, the last time I was in London I saw one tourist get walloped by a taxi that he stepped out in front of whilst looking left. Fortunately the taxi was only going at about 5 mph so he was just bruised. When we heard him screaming and cursing it was immediately obvious where he came from. Clue: South of Canada and North of Mexico. 😉
    We don't have private beaches in the mainland UK apart from those on which our Ministry of Defence conducts its activities. Which is common sense really. 💥💥💥
    Wandering off from someone who is in a queue then coming back to them is perfectly acceptable. 👍

    My boss's recommendation (after he had smoothed things out and said that I would hold door's open for any colleague regardless of their gender - hmm...) was that in future I should let the door slam in colleagues' faces when in the USA...

    As a none driver I always walk my visiting American friends round for two day so they can see how we drive before hiring a vehicle for them to drive. Some still make mistakes on the first drive, but they are minor mistakes and not FATAL Mistakes, things like failing to Yield to traffic coming from the right, especially on roundabouts BUT I know these are not common in the USA AND YOU CALL them turning circles. The other major diffenence in the sequence of our Traffic Intersection Lights, our light secquence is Red, Red and Amber then they go out and Green replaces them. DO NOT MOVE the Vehicle until you see the GREEN. Reverse sequence is from Green to Amber then Red. When crossing our roads/street Look LEFT, Right and Left again before crossing. If in DOUBT look down as its often written on the Sidewalk or Road.

    Roughly 35% of the world's population drive on the left side of the road. Most of the countries that were former British colonies and/or dominions continued to drive on the left, including India which is.....1.4 billion people!
    Countries that drive on the left:
    Asia - India, Bangladesh, Brunei, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, East Timor, Japan, and Thailand.
    Africa - Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Swaziland, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Mauritius.
    Australia and Oceania - Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Pitcairn Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and the Solomon Islands.
    Europe - UK, Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus.
    West Indies - Pretty much all of the Caribbean islands drive on the left, including (ironically!) the US Virgin Islands.
    Most Brits can comfortably drive on either the left or right side of the road because of our proximity to continental Europe.

    The Sunday closing thing has its origins in Christianity. However, today I think Sunday closing mostly still exists for work/life balance. We are actually now quite a non religious country but we are historically less secular than the US so a lot of our laws and traditions have Christian origins. We still often sing Christian hymns in normal, non church related, state/public schools for example.

    If you have ever watched footage of people where the Kings Guard are, then you would realise how nice you two are as tourists. You are doing it the right way. Respectful of the country in which you are, you have nice manners and genuinely want to know more about the UK. I've loved these vlogs. And don't worry about etiquette, some of the UK population don't have manners. You two are doing just fine. I live with a man who is super punctual, if he says he's going to be somewhere, he's there at least 10/15 minutes before. I've always been a bit more 'free and easy' with times. However, now I always ask him if it's a 'have to be there' time or a 'nice to be there' time. A 'have to be' and I make sure I'm in good time. A 'nice to be' and I'm not quite as stressed. I do recall going on a sunrise ballon trip in Florida, and the guy was very much you must be on time at the meeting place. As he said, 'the sun aint gonna stop rising because you ain't there and we WILL go without you' He was not joking, we had two people that weren't there on time, we left without them.

    You guys need to cut yourself some slack. There is definitely a sense of etiquette in the UK, but we wouldnt expect you to get it. Dont be loud, dont be obnoxious, and observe the queue. You wont go far wrong.
    If you do make a 'mistake', then just act graciously. You will get much more respect than if you just got it right in the first place.
    There is something very endearing about you two. You seem to genuinely love the UK, and want to find out everything you can. I almost worry that we should all get together and guide you across the country!
    I live in Northumberland, just a couple of miles from Hadrians Wall. There are also over 70 castles in Northumberland, some very ruinous and some quite grand. For over 400 years, this was an active border between England and Scotland and the castles are the scar tissue of those times. It is a stunningly beautiful county, with 70 miles of unbelievably golden beaches. Its definitely worth a visit.
    I have lived all over the UK: London, Edinburgh, Cornwall and now I have returned to where I was born. I also spent a couple of years running a pub on a remote island: Lundy, in the Atlantic /Bristol channel.
    Just come back, breathe deeply and slowly, the UK will do the rest.

    I was in the UK forces and many time we drove in other countries like W Germany & France,we were not taught but get on with it,we did not have a problem and we were driving righthand drive vehicles on the right side of the road.What is a problem is the UK vehicles but not all have a CLUTCH pedal to change gear,so for the US visitor has to drive on the left with righthand steering wheel using a clutch to change gear.It's really not to hard and you get used to it meeting our roundabouts.All I can say is to those comming to the UK try and see if you can at least drive a righthanded car in your country but on spare land driving to the left as a test,it will give you some minor training to get you started,the gearbox might be a slight problem but you will get the hang of it the more you use it.Villages and narrow roads to you will test you and you will have to pass other vehcles too.Look on the internet to find a driving simulator available if it can change a lefthand drive to the right and have a gearbox lever to use.I know i'm not giving you the advice you want and may just visit us anyway and get on with it to drive,I had to like many in our forces,the only training was the traffic signs/speed signs,traffic lights etc and then a test you had to pass.

      Yes it’s very easy to switch over between say driving across France and the UK, You’ll get used to it though sometimes people initially clip the kerb a bit, particularly if sat the other way over too, as I guess your brain is not so used to judging space on the other side while driving or maybe people over compensate too. Personally, I’m fine drive left/right side of road and with RHD or LHD cars.

    Driving on the left-hand side, apart from having historical significance, has been proved to be far safer than the "wrong" side of the road. And, incidentally, over 70 countries drive on the left, including large population countries like Japan and India, it's not just the UK! (BTW, there is no such thing as "British English", just English) (You two sound just right, but it seems to me that a lot of US citizens need to learn more manners, and, no, we're not weird, just civilized).(A simple trick when being hassled in a queue, just step back on their toes and say, oh! sorry. I hope that all this is helpful).

    We drive on the right on our own decisions not anyone elses that too goes for everything,somehow the rest of the world is slowly behind us finding other things we do for good or bad,we don't pinch other ideas because they could turnout wrong or a bad mistake.I'm old school too born in 1949 a male.It becomes funny when the none british find out how & why we do things different well we have had very good architects from the past and you will still find those buildings still standing the test of time,yes alot were damaged in the second world war.We get the migrants traveling through many counties and if they were good they would have stayed in that country but NO because the brits and the UK are on another level for lots of reasons.We let people find out what the UK has to offer on there own,good or bad leaks out of the UK to send messages what is found in the UK is different to where they have come from.RUclips is makeing it even more tempting to come to UK,Yes we have problems but it's not the true older british at fault.We never force things on new visitors and let them decide their own decision or opinions what they think of us.

      You can drive any type of small vehicle (for example cars or motorcycles) listed on your full and valid licence for 12 months from when you last entered Great Britain (GB). So basically if you stay and intend to drive longer than 12 months at a time, you would then have to get a UK licence i believe, which would be much tougher.
