Is it particularly uncomfortable to drive on the right-hand side? I've read a lot of articles about Road trip in the UK and I'm a bit scared ?

Right-hand drive at the beginning will feel a bit strange, and the car will unconsciously tend to the left. But as long as you pay attention to the right-hand lane lines, you will soon get used to it. There are many narrow lanes on the plateau, with almost no space outside the lanes, and the speed is fast, generally at 60 miles. If you do not control the position of the car well, the left side is easy to scrape. Going to Skye? There are also double-lane roads on Skye, with a give-way point every few dozen meters. You should pay attention to giving way to others. Whoever arrives at the give-way point first should give way to the other party. When driving on a double-lane road, flashing your headlights is a must. Flashing your headlights means letting the other party go first. If the other party flashes their headlights at you, it means they are letting you go first.

By the way, I want to remind everyone that when we went to Stratford, we visited Shakespeare's birthplace and parked the car in a roadside parking lot, where we paid the fee at the automatic payment machine. When we returned, we found a parking ticket on the car. It turns out that some of the parking spaces in this parking lot belong to private individuals or businesses, and permission is required to park there. The £100 fine was issued by the parking company, which is really frustrating. I'm not sure if this kind of situation is mandatory to pay ? United Kingdom Q&A
