driving civility

There's this concept here in England that many Americans are unfamiliar with. It's known as politeness. When driving down a motorway (highway), English people actually allow you to change lanes if you put on your turn signal. They use the fast lane as an overtaking lane, not a cruising lane. There's also this thing called a "speed limit," and sometimes lorries (trucks) have a lower one. In Britain these trucks actually follow it. If you are on a side road and want to turn onto a main road, incredibly, they'll let you in! British road rage is a horn honking.

Amazing!
