  • Driving in the United Kingdom can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the left side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 40kph in urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the United Kingdom is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The British pound (GBP) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card where you can, but have some cash ready for places that don't accept electronic payment.
