Notes:
Most large towns and cities in the UK have ‘Park and Ride’ schemes. These are large car parks
outside city centres where drivers can park their cars, often for free. They can then take a bus into
the city centre.
Distances and speed limits in the UK are in miles (1 mile = about 1.6 kilometres) and miles per hour
(mph). The maximum speed limit is 60mph on single-lane roads outside towns, or 70mph on dual
carriageways and motorways (although this may increase to 80mph on motorways in the near
future). In most built-up areas, the maximum speed limit is usually 20 or 30mph. Drivers who are
caught speeding can face penalties ranging from a fine to imprisonment, depending on how fast
they were driving and where. They also receive ‘penalty points’ on their driving licence, and can
have their licence suspended.
Drink-driving is considered a serious offence. Offenders automatically have their driving licence
suspended for at least a year, will normally receive a fine and in extreme cases (especially where
they cause an accident), may go to prison.
