  Constant moaning seems to be the British way. I've driven on both sides of the pond. It's not brain surgery. :)

  If you're getting passed on the right, you're in the wrong lane. Don't be a left lane Larry.

  Don't piss off American drivers by flashing you lights or honking the horn. Remember people have guns!!

  Here's a novel idea, put down the phone and pay attention to where you're going and the road signs. Also, if you're driving in a place you've never been, get a map and familiarize yourself with the route. God forbid the car you rent isn't the same make or model as the one you own. Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the vehicle.  I see a trend developing here! As for time vs miles. The same store one is 2 miles from my house the other 7; the closest one will take 30 minutes to get to vs 10ish. I couldn't care less about the distance.

  How different people drive very much depends on where you’re from and where you are. I’ve been in downtown Atlanta where the speed limit is 55mph but if you’re not going 70mph you are in the way. Then you get in the countryside outside Atlanta where the speed limit is 70mph, you are going fast if you’re doing 75mph.

  Driving rules differ in each state. Some states have speed cameras everywhere and in others speed cameras are illegal. When cameras are illegal, in order to get a speeding ticket, a cop must see you speeding with his or her own eyes. <br><br>90% of British rules and laws violate the US Constitution. Thus they are illegal in the US.

  in America we over and undertake others at will because of all the other bad drivers who cant drive and often drive in the wrong lanes SLOWLY. AND most Americans use the speed limit as a suggestion because some places that post speed limits of 55-60 mph, you are literally not getting anywhere fast. Thats why some of us go 75-80 mph like its the Autobahn

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoxYA9ObeY0&amp;t=298">4:58</a>, most likely the car detailer inadvertently turned the lights off auto while cleaning the car. <br>It&apos;s been years since I&apos;ve rented a vehicle that didn&apos;t have a GPS, maybe he rented a Yugo and was expecting a Cadillac.

  The only problem I have driving in the UK is driving manual for the 1st day. All the pedals and stick are on the lefts side of car

  I have to drive 20 miles one way, just to go to the grocery store, and another twenty to get back home. I&apos;m trying to get home before the tub of ice cream in the grocery bag thaws out. Luckily, there&apos;s only about four spots a cop car can sit on that stretch, so I know where I can go faster.

  LOL!!!! &nbsp;I totally disagree with their perception. &nbsp;Americans are actually worse drivers than what they described. &nbsp;I see it constantly, drivers doing 100 mph or more in a 70 mph zone on I-95 in Florida while weaving in and around different lanes. &nbsp;Motorcycles passing traffic in between cars at over 90 mph riding the dashed lines that separates the lanes. &nbsp;I do think part of the reason people speed is the distance covered during a long trip. &nbsp;Traveling 10 mph over the speed limit on an interstate can potentially put you 100 miles further on a 10 hour drive. &nbsp; &nbsp;However, to answer BP2&apos;s question about how many Stars and Stripes are allowed on a truck, the answer is &quot;Depends on the size of the truck.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;Great reaction guys as always.
