Motorways

 Motorways are the uk special roads they are in the main free there are tolls on some bridges and special roads.

Motorways are indetifed by blue signs on the approach to a motorway you will see it on roads signs

To join the motorways you should accelerate up to the speed of the traffic already on the motorway and whilst using OBSERVATION,  SIGNAL, MANOUVER slip into the traffic already on the motorways 

Keep to the left unless overtaking, my suggestion,is to travel slightly over 60mph but not as fast as the limit  of 70 MPH (112kph).

You should know your exit number that you need to leave the motorway or alternatively which motorway you changing to.

Give yourself plenty of time motorways often become clogged and progress slowed .
If you are unfortunate to breakdown pull as far left as you can put your hazard warnings lights on and either use your phone or the motorway phones to inform motorways control of your problem they will need to know the motorways you are on. Your direction of travel and the marker post number which is situated every 100 metres this will give you the marker post number and the direction of the nearest phone.

To leave the motorway first know the exit  number you want,and this is more important than the name of this city as there are frequently two. 
You will get "count down" markers at three hundred metres two hundred and one hundred metres you should be in the left hand lane with a left indicator on reduce you speed after you leave the motorway always be careful after driving on the motorway as you can misjudge your speed. 
Do not drive too close to the car in front give yourself to stop beware that drivers frequently use hazard warning lights if they have to slow or stop on the motorway.

Traffic lights frequently have cameras recording and if you go past the stop light on Red you can be prosecuted. See here for more information on traffic lights    Uk traffic lights also differ from most of Europe in that they also have a solid white line ( The stop line) across the road indicating where the leading vehicle should stop (behind the line). Remember the saying THE LIGHT CONTROLS THE LINE which means.  If you are past the stop line the traffic lights can be discounted, see the final paragraph In Uk the traffic lights sequence is as follows.   RED  D o not pass the white line. Under no normal circumstance can you pass this line whilst the light is Red, you must not turn left whilst the light displayed is Red unless you have a green arrow ( a filter light) displayed  AMBER and RED do not proce...

  Parking   Parking is comparatively expensive and there is little opportunity to park for free. Supermarkets often let you park for perhaps an hour but it is very important to read and understand the sign that will be displayed. Often parking is either by paying at a meter or by phone even parking at some Lidl is controlled. Make sure you have a note of the registration number of your vehicle, it is often required. On road parking is strictly controlled you cannot park where there are two yellow lines on the side of the road,  you can however   stop to drop off or pick up passengers.  Do not stop on the controlled area near a school which will be marked with a white or yellow lines be even to drop off passengers.  You may have to park some distance away  Also when near schools you must obey the school crossing controller who will have this sign.
