Note: 
Most large towns and cities in Britain have ‘Park and Ride’ schemes. These are large car parks outside city
centres where drivers can park their car, usually for free. They can then take a bus into the city centre.
Distances and speed limits in Britain are in miles or miles per hour (1 mile = 1.6 kilometres). The maximum
speed limit in Britain is 60mph on single-lane roads outside towns, or 70mph on dual-carriageways or
motorways. In most towns and cities, the maximum speed limit is usually 20 or 30 mph. Drivers who are
caught speeding can face penalties ranging from a fine to imprisonment, depending on how fast they are
driving and where. They can also have their driving licence suspended.
Drink driving is considered a very serious offence. Offenders automatically have their driving licence
suspended for at least a year, will normally receive a fine and may go to prison.
