【推荐1】Roads in the UK seem (似乎) to be much safer—there were fewer road accidents in the UK in the past few years. The number of accidents there was smaller than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way English people do. Here is some advice for visitors.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have accidents because they don’t really know what to do in different situations. If there is a line of cars, don’t try to go past other cars and get to the front of the line. This is called “jumping the line”. If you do this other people will get angry (生气) with you.

Stop at a red light. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, even if there aren’t any cars or people around. Don’t honk your horn (鸣喇叭) too much. If you do, people will think you are impolite.

If other drivers flash (闪光) their lights, they may try to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, you can ask the police for help, but don’t give money to them. If you do, they will think you try to bribe (贿赂) the police.
