BUT, Bob


you know that

possibly all Brits know that



but as visitors, we don't know that, nor are we told that!



The little map that comes with a rental car has no such information on it.


Every other country in the world that we have driven in, posts the actual maximum speed

Sylvia,
in spite of being native Brits, we are STILL likely to be in trouble, because lotts of this stuff is not published to the public, and we are often as ignorant or naive as a visitor to the UK........and only find out when that pair of flashing blue lights appear in the rear view mirror.....
( I dont watch road wars , police, camera action for nuffin! you know.......)

regarding our speed limits there must be thousands of drivers that dont know the limit for the road that they are on.........so they cruise along 10 Mph slower.......just to be on the safe side( of getting done for speeding)

I wonder, how many drivers know and under stand the rules for using the extra lights on their cars, ie are they driving lights or fog lights?
and when to use them correctly.......
