Driving on the left
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
In the UK, vehicles drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the right of the car. This affects everything: crossing roads, boarding buses, and which way to look. It takes a few days to get used to.
Chinese explanation
英国车辆靠道路左侧行驶，方向盘在车的右边。这影响方方面面：过马路、上公交、往哪边看。一般几天就能适应。
