In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts. British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody.3.This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you. You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. 4. If another driver flashes his car's lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn much and they think people who do so are rude. 5. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.
