As long as you have no problem with your driving skills, you will adapt quickly. However, you should pay more attention to local traffic regulations. The parking and right of way are quite strict. You should patiently wait for when you should stop and yield.

Thank you, madam. It will take some time to get used to driving on the right side in my home country. Also, it's true that large seven-seater cars don't come in automatic transmission. I'm hoping to upgrade to an automatic transmission by paying a little extra. And I'm also wondering if there aren't many cars in the UK, so starting out shouldn't be too difficult, right ?

When approaching the roundabout, zoom in on the navigation page, and it will be very clear which exit to take! If you make a mistake, never exit, just keep turning until you get it right! We spent a lot of time circling around the roundabout near Heathrow Airport on the first day and missed visiting Cambridge. Now I feel a bit regretful. Later, when we went around the roundabout again, it was a piece of cake ? United Kingdom Q&A

Yesterday when renting a car at Sixt Heathrow, we originally booked a Skoda Superb Estate. When renting the car, the waiter said the car was too small and tried to upgrade us to a BMW. I refused. The car looked very good and the boot was big enough to fit all four of our suitcases. However, the car showed that the tyre pressure was not enough, so they gave us a Mercedes 220 instead. But the car screen showed that we had to add AdBlue when we drove more than 700 miles. The waiter said we didn't have to worry about it. After we started driving, the screen showed that we had to add oil the next time we refuelled. After driving for an hour, we arrived in Oxford and the car started to lose power. We couldn't even get it to go fast. We could only drive slowly. In this situation, is there something wrong with the car that we need to call for roadside assistance? Have any of you ever experienced this ? United Kingdom Q&A

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. I would like to remind everyone that the English address you leave when renting a car must be accurate! I am now worried to death about this ? United Kingdom Q&A

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
