Driving in America - a view from an Englishman.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Think of it as your countries version of the metric system. Why change it if nobody can make you change it?

Well we did change from feet and inches to the metric system in the 1970s.

Britain did look into changing sides in the 1950s but it was decided against because we are an island and at the time we had the biggest car industry in Europe.

We drive like idiots over here. I really enjoyed driving in Germany.

Aye the Germans are renouned as being sensible drivers. They do 180mph but sensibly. The Italians on the other hand.

[Roamy]

the italians pass anywhere any time. The germans are really good at obeying the laws

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I found that Americans drove very well when you got away from the cities. They still enjoyed to speed but the lane discipline was very good and nobody cut you up.

[Robinho]

35% of the world's population drive on the left. Just a quirk though

Undertaking happens here too,although not as much.

Prepaying for fuel, had that when driving in Cyprus. Was odd as I was returning a hire car and had to guess how much I needed to return with the same amount.

Road kill, try driving the A9 or M90 to Perth a Pheasant every 100 yards.

And as for American food, just the same as everywhere else in the world including the UK, some good and some pretty bad.

I think it's funny that Americans say they use imperial measurements but they have no idea what a stone is in weight.

They say every stone is a different weight !
driven in quite a lot of countries where the Rule of the road ia "Drive on the right" .never had a problem either solo or towing a caravan ,as far north as Aarhuus ,and as far south as Dubrovnic,and in every county in Europe too .
America ,Canada where ever its all about being observant and applying common sense !
