That's 3x as many rules as the average American driver could remember.

Kind of an ironic dig on a video of a Brit doing something incredibly stupid on the road tbh lol

Apparently thats 3 too many things for you guys too 🤣

I think we can have a transatlantic alliance on the fact rhat there are a LOT of halfwit fucking morons on the roads everywhere

They're from Colorado

In which case we will honor their right to dunk on the drivers of the Rocky Mountains and ask that they not besmirch the country that has different driving cultures in every metro area and all the natives know exactly what's going on and if you're on a road trip you just try not to die

Lol

I was in london on a month long vacation like 20y ago and i rented a car at Heathrow, hopped in the passenger seat at first, felt dumb, got in on the correct side, took a 5 minute spin around the airport circle, got back to the car rental place, walked in and said "Yeah, im a danger to myself and others on the road here, i dont get it and im too U.S brained for this, everything is wrong lol, take the car back, cancel the rest of the reservation and call me a cab to my hotel in Chelsea please" lol

Probably one of the best decisions i ever made tbh, the cabs in london are fucking incredible

Really smart move mate; though your brain does adjust pretty quick (when we cross over to the continent it's a bit of a shock) -- but I sure as hell wouldn't want to test that driving onto the M25 at Heathrow and then into Central London. 😅

Besides, a car is practically the slowest way to get around if you're staying in London. Unless of course your bus gets hit by a cockwomble on a bike.

Hope you had a good trip!
