Don't forget that we drive on the left in all of the UK. The speed limit on the motorways and all dual carriageways, unless there are signs (indicating a lower speed), is 70mph. Single Carriage roads the maximum speed is 60mph. In built-up areas the maximum speed is 30mph. There are an increasing number of 50mph, 40mph, and in towns 20mph restricted areas; these areas very often have small repeater signs at head height. Generally built-up areas have street lights, so don't rely on the presence of houses to indicate a built-up area.
It is not lawful to overtake in the inside, but only on the left-hand side of a moving vehicle.
For the benefit of the residents of USA - never turn right, or left, on a red traffic light. It is unlawful in the UK.
