Depending on your driving skills and familiarity with traffic rules, it's better to choose an automatic car if you are used to driving on the left side of the road and switching to a car with a right-hand drive. In normal cases, you can adapt to it as soon as you get on the road. When changing lanes, turning, or entering/exiting roundabouts, always abide by traffic rules. Driving in the UK is much simpler than in other European mainland countries.

By the way, do you have any violations? I receive an invoice letter from Sixt every few days, which are all administration fees for speeding violations. It turns out that each item is charged 36 pounds in administration fees! However, I don't know how the fine was sent to the domestic address.

This morning I went to the hotel to store my luggage. I stopped by the taxi parking line at the door to unload my luggage. The police came in less than two minutes. They gave me a ticket. I was standing next to the car at the time and couldn't even say I would leave right away. It's really unfortunate. I returned the car after storing the luggage. In the end, I lost a lot in the last few minutes. Could someone help me see how to pay the fine ? United Kingdom Q&A
