UK DRIVING HINTS AND
TIPS
Speed Limit
Speed limit on Motorway:
112kph/70mph Speed limit in Towns: 48kph/30mph Speed limit on major roads:
96kph/60mph Speed limits are indicated by circular signs with the limit
amount circled by a red band. Care should be taken as speed cameras are
in operation on many major roads. The national speed limit (speed limit
on major roads) is 60mph, the national speed limit in the UK sign
is shown as a round white sign with a black diagonal cross through it.
Road Signs in the UK
UK Motorways have large BLUE signs
with white lettering. A and most B roads (the next major roads ) have
Green signs with white lettering. Each road junction will have a warning
sign and where each road goes, at the junction there will be more signs
and there will be confirmation signs when you take the junction with destination
markers and miles to each at the beginning and along each major road.
There is always a road sign. On minor roads there will be a finger post
sign at the side of the road in each direction telling you what is in
each direction and how far it is. The only problem comes in South Wales
where everything is Llan-something then it gets confusing. If you are
really lost stop at the local pub and ask for directions, you might get
three different sets but you will also make new friends.
Some UK Requirements when Driving
What should I know about parking in the UK
? Yellow lines indicate parking restrictions. Nearby there will be a sign
which details the exact parking restrictions, but typically a double yellow
line means no parking at any time, a single yellow line means no parking
from 8am to 6 30pm Monday to Saturday, and a broken yellow line means
that there are few restrictions. You should check the nearest sign for
details of these. Pay-and-display machines are common throughout UKs major
towns and cities. In pay and display machines you need to put in the money
for the required amount of time, collect a small ticket and display it
CLEARLY on your dashboard. What is the minimum age for driving in Ireland?
The minimum driving age in Ireland is 17. Can I use my domestic license
in Ireland? You will not require an international drivers license if your
license is in English. It is advised that if your license is not printed
in English, you should have a translation. What documents may I need to
carry? You are legally required to carry your driving license, insurance
papers and registration papers (proof of ownership) with you at all times.
If you have a hire car you will need to carry all the necessary documents
with you also. If you fail to produce these documents the police may ask
you to present them at a police station within a specified number of days.
UK drives on the left.
You probably knew that already, but it’s hard to get the hang of
when you get there. The best tip I can offer is the driver should keep
himself aligned with the white line in the center of the road (not on
it of course) if you find you are near the hedge you are on the wrong
side. You will be driving a manual car since automatics are almost non
existent in Britain - and after you have driven around the narrow
roads and up the steep hills a bit you will understand why. Britain
has a lot of hills - unless you go to Lincon or Norfolk-
and many of these can be very steep. Make sure that you don’t change
down too late or the car will run out of power before you reach the top
of the hill. Some of the hills there can be as much as 1:4 which is pretty
steep. There is one in Robin Hoods Bay Yorkshire which is 1.2. However
they don’t let traffic down it anymore except for deliveries to the
village, you have to walk. A great village going down but not coming UP!
Try not to underestimate the hill or you will find you might have to get
out and push. Also these hills often go around corners especially on the
way down so take care on the brakes. Villages often have houses right
on the street so make sure you give enough clearance or you could scrape
the side of the car. Watch out for hidden driveway signs - the driveways
really ARE hidden and often have mirrors set on poles so you can see if
something is coming out and they can see you. Most drivers in Britain
are quite good. In the UK tickets are given for bad driving not
just speeding so the highway code is strictly adhered to. Don’t pass
on the left. (inside) right its strictly enforced. Watch out for narrow
bridge signs, they mean it. You won’t get more than one car across
at a time. In the heartland where there is a large canal system the bridges
are narrow and steep. In many cases you won’t be able to see the
other side of the bridge from where you are as the rise is so rapid. Sound
your horn before proceeding and don’t go very fast. If you do you
can’t stop for the traffic that suddenly appears on the other side
that you could not see. Also without oncoming traffic if you are driving
too fast you might literally take off, jumping the downslope on the other
side of the bridge. Most of the above points will occur more on secondary
and minor roads, but in Britain a major road can be quite narrow
and have any or all of the above features, so take care.
