When driving around an island, pay attention to changing lanes, especially when entering a large island, change lanes in time according to the exit direction, otherwise you may collide with vehicles on the outer ring. In addition, the speed limit on British roads changes frequently, especially there are many speed traps near London, so pay attention to changing your speed. Another thing to keep in mind is to yield, especially when entering an island. The vehicles driving around the island are all very fast, sometimes when you feel you can go in, you will be honked by a vehicle that quickly circles around you when you go in. Be sure to enter the island only when you are sure that you cannot see any vehicles driving around. In addition, I also found that there are one-way streets in some places, which are marked as one way. Be careful not to drive the wrong way.

All parking fees are self-paid. Prepare more coins, as many places do not accept credit card payments and only accept coins. Pay attention to the signs and instructions for fees.

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
