Driving in UK/Scotland

[KiltedHuntsman]

One easy trick is to KEEP THE CENTERLINE OF THE ROAD NEXT TO YOU, THE DRIVER.

This helps especially if you get confused turning in an intersection. And if you pull over to look at a roadsign, concentrate on getting back into the proper lane when you pull out. You have no idea how many times I got into an impromptu game of chicken when I would look at a sign, then without thinking, I'd pull back into traffic into the wrong lane.

Roundabouts - Staty in outer lane if you're taking the next turnoff, otherwise go into the inside lane if you're going past more than one exit, then getting into the outer lane before your intended turnoff. Staying in the outer lane all the way around annoys the natives mightily...

The biggest thing is don't drink. Even a small one at lunch. It's very easy to revert to your North American driving habits after even a small amount of alcohol. That's how Matthew Broderick killed a few people about a decade ago, driving on the wrong side after a few quick ones.

That is very good advice. My brothers and I followed it to the letter when we were in Scotland. The driver for the day never had a drink until we were settled in for the day (car parked at the B&B).
We found that the quality of driving there is way better than where we're from, and you have to have your wits about you; add to that the difference of driving on the other side of the road, roundabouts, etc.
