กฎจราจร
Here are a few of the most important rules to remember when driving in Britain:
- Drive on the left-hand side of the road.
- Always pass (overtake) on the outside (right) lane.
- Do not block the middle lane if the inside lane is clear.
- When approaching a roundabout, give priority to traffic approaching from the right, unless otherwise indicated.
- You must always stop at a red traffic light.
- You mustn't drive over 30mph in built-up areas.
- At a junction there's no general priority rule - priority is marked at most junctions.
- All traffic signals and road signs must be obeyed.
- All vehicles must give way to emergency services vehicles.
- The use of a car horn is not permitted in built-up areas from 23:30 to 07:00 hours.
- Do not drive in bus lanes during restricted hours. See signs by the side of the road for times.
- It's illegal to use a mobile phone when driving. If you need to make a call, find a safe place to stop first.
These are just a few of the rules you need to remember. If you plan to drive during your trip to Britain, you should read through the complete Highway Code (www.highwaycode.gov.uk/) before you get in a car.
