Simon Pinney a road sign which is a white disc with a black diagonal line indicates speed limit as well as round red rimmed signs with a number in. The white disc and diagonal line means "national speed limit" which for a car on a single carriageway road meaning one lane each way is 60mph even when the road is really narrow. The same sign on a dual carriageway which is 2 or more lanes in each direction and what you call a median in the middle is 70mph.

I find it astounding that you found auto windscreen wipers are amazing! Thats been amongst basic equipment on european cars for at least the last 10 years or so! That being said, the price of cars here is much higher that the US. Forgive us our often poor road system, it is masively under invested outside London. That being said, the UK is a much smaller country so things are inevitably compressed. The overwhelming impression a Brit has when visiting the US for the first time is the SPACE! I found it incredible that Americans talk about driving 100's of miles to visit friends and neighbors like it was a normal thing!

Happy Hoppe - it was a Mercedes, which yes, is a rather up-market European brand, but thinking about it, about 4 years ago, I hired a Nissan at Houston airport - pretty sure that had auto wipers too. Driving in LA was a breeze, but you had to plan carefully to avoid the commuting times. I have been fortunate (?) enough to drive in a few foreign countries but by far the most stressful experience was driving in Dallas. On the freeways, the exit slips (off ramps ?) could be on either the left or the right and the sign posts gave you very short notice - which meant having to cross up to 4 lanes of traffic at the very last moment. Not only that, but the good people of Dallas all drive fast. Very fast. It is not for the feint hearted!

It was often used as an illegal race track at night with people trying to get from one end to the other in the shortest time possible.

The building yards will accept both, but we mainly use the imperial system for most things and metric for the odd stuff. Blame the EU for that.

One a country road the speed limit is 60mph unless there are speed signs or street lamps.

at the end you approached what us brits call a blind crest followed by a blind corner, a bit too quickly especially on a single track road, also driving with your arms out stretched isn't generally good practise either

Pretty sure the car has satellite navigation 😂😂😎🇬🇧

Thought I'd be safe from a VPN advert in a travel vlog :D

Older roads are narrow because they pre-date the motor car!

can’t work out the big deal ( am a Londoner). Small roads are safe. love our B Roads.

Right!?! Total game changer! We LOVED these and haven't seen them since in any of the other cars we've driven in Europe, Africa or Asia - I'm hoping we can find this feature in whatever car we end up buying once we return Stateside.

Fords, Vws, Vauxhall’s, Peugeot, BMW, Mercedes, the list goes on of cars with auto windscreen wipers, it’s not just in the uk

The UK does not use KM/H, hence why we use MPH in the US.

I hope your sore throat got better

Aww, that's so sweet of you Richard! Yes, it did, thanks! So far we've managed to stay pretty healthy on our 1 year world trip (2/3 of the way through!) Just a few sore throats here and there!

2:02 yeah a full English breakfast will do that to you 😁

When it is rainy, then the sun comes out, and then it rains again, these are called showers.

That road was probably national speed limit lol

Yes, we were used to it after our 2 weeks of driving in the U.K. ! Just at first it was a bit unexpected. We went to the Peaks and Lake District and those roads were a bit narrow, but still manageable! 😁

You missed out one informant element with an English Breakfast, and that is Black Pudding. Have that, and you have a full English Breakfast 🙂

Go to Dovedale, please.

You're not the only one that finds roundabouts confusing. I've lived here all my life and I hate them.

Ian Muir: Where did I say I couldn't handle a roundabout? Troll. Bit of a know - all aren't you.

Our "roads" started as footpaths, used by traders walking between villages trading, then widened when they added a donkey and cart to move their goods. Later Romans arrived to build multiple lane roads to move troops and goods at speed. All long before the Americas had need of a road, only after the Spanish invaded did things start to change. The arrival of the wagon pulled by horses started the creation or need for roads. The coming of the car and the vast space available allowed the big big roads then traffic jams that rapidly filled them, until everything ground to a halt in massive traffic jams.
