Also, there are no fast lanes in England, so stick to the left unless you are overtaking, and always use your turn signals as you overtake. Always yield to pedestrians and emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Do not blast your horn at other drivers, as this might be considered aggressive, and the law stipulates that you cannot blast your horn in built-up areas between 11:30 pm and 7 am. When driving in England, try driving within the stipulated limits to avoid unnecessary fines. Also, note that the speed limits are given in kph, and 1 mile is usually around 1.6 kilometers. For driving around built-up urban areas and school zones, stick to 50 kph (30 mph). Outside city limits, you can drive at around 90 kph (60 mph) and around 110 kph (70 mph) on the highway.
