Can someone from the US help me here in how your driving system works, as it's confused me for some time.
In the UK at 17 you get your provisional license, which allows you to drive a car (providing that you're insured on it) with a person who has had a full license for three years, with "L" plates and not on motorways. You then take your theory test, then practical test, and if you pass both you get the full license which allows you to drive on your own on any road.
The otehr thng i need to ask about is speed limits and how they compare to here. In towns speed limit is generally 30 mph, dropping to 20 in some areas like around schools and in housing areas. You then get to 4--50 between towns, 60 in single carrigeway roads and 70 on dual-carrigeway and motorways. |
