Came back to visit your channel. Yay! I find your vlogs interesting. Thank you Jen.

I really like the topics of your new videos 😊

Ich habe angefangen deine Deutschen Videos zu sehen und finde deine Einstellung wirklich großartig. Ich werde auch nach England ziehen und freue mich noch viele Tipps von dir zu erhalten❤

Hi Jen, I always enjoy your videos, you always have such an interesting perspective on things. It would be nice to hear from you more often.

Well done Jen!

Thanks for posting, Jen. I have done what you did in reverse. Driving on the left now terrifies me! A friend of mine learned in the Netherlands and didn´t know why the car suddenly started to slow down in Belgium until her partner explained you have to change down when going up a hill....

Mad respect to you! I've got not issue with driving on vacation as long as the people are driving on the "right" (both figuratively & literally) side of the road ;)

When I visited London many years ago, I found crossing busy streets a challenge. If you are used to right hand traffic, left hand traffic will be crazy. I hate roundabouts.

I completely understand that. When I was confronted with having to drive in the UK, I personally didn´t expect it to be too much of a problem. Working in the automobile industry I`m used to drive cars of different makes and manufacturers frequently and I`ve also previously driven UK spec right-hand cars in german traffic, felt okay. What can I say? I was wrong and sitting on the right and driving on the left was surprisingly challenging. We drove through small villages in Bedford and I`m afraid my english colleague had a tough time in the passenger seat. Sorry! 😅 Putting extreme care on giving approaching traffic enough space, I found myself constantly too much on the left, with houses too close for comfort.

Backing up on those tiny country roads to let cars pass and all those round-a-bouts, wow. Now you can drive anywhere! The roads are sooo narrow in the UK. Good for you on learning a new skill and with a manual car as well! Now you can take a road trip and show us around. Glad you are posting again. How's your doggie?

Things that are a bit annoying about driving here in Germany: 1) Being supposed to indicate turning right or left just because the main road you are continuing on happens to bend around one way or the other. 2) Not being allowed to just swerve across the road and park in the "wrong" direction (perfectly OK in the UK) Apart from that it's fine 😀

They love a roundabout 😂 totally agree, absolutely hate the massive ones with the traffic lights. I’m surprised sometimes that the supermarkets, gyms and parks aren’t a round walkway with a one-way system and speed cameras.

I’m learning to drive now (I’m 30) because I couldn’t in the past for medical reasons in the past. I remember my Danish ex saying he could never drive in here in Ireland or in the U.K. because of people walking across randomly. I’m moving to Quebec soon so I will have to do it all over again, on the right hand side and in French, at least Ireland uses KM but for oddly my driving instructor’s car is in MPH with KPH in smaller letters (apparently it’s in an import), it throws me off as do the hill stars here too as well as awkward stop signs on country roads 😬

NDR Info:“ London: Die englische Polizei sucht immer noch nach der Ursache des dramatischen Anstiegs von Verkehrsunfällen in der Grafschaft Kent im Südosten von England in den letzten drei Monaten…“…🤔🤓😉😅😂

I feel this so much 🙈 we’ve just visited Devon and Cornwall… these narrow streets were my biggest issue 😅 And I hate the speed limit in the UK 😂 you can’t overtake someone when they are under the speed limit. Great video 👍🏽

I am old enough to have driven on Motorways before the blanket 70 mph limit was imposed and had a car that was capable of maintaining in excess of 100 mph, scary when most were going much slower. Some Police forces had to buy a certain sports car (Daimler SP250) just to be able to effectively police them. The criminals often had faster cars.

I think i had a similar experience, i never wanted to drive and didnt want to have a car at all - and i was quite a fearful driver. Did my license, but that was it. At one point i then inherited a car from my granduncle and it was kind of like "oh i keep it because the insurance deal is so good and maybe it might be helpful to move stuff around". Cue forward to 3 y later, i drove several >1000 km journeys, through mountain passes, onto icy glaciers with snowchains, offroad gravel streets with 30 cm deep potholes and steep ascends, windy, narrow roads where you could go only 1-2 cm left and right. Oh and regularly the autobahn! I think confidence comes quickly with some practice, granted, driving on the left sounds stressful. Maybe you plan to have a roadtrip :D? Btw i heard from my gf, that you should park your car on neutral in UK, because people try to bump into it to make parking space? Is that still a thing?

There are serious discussions going on, and trials in some areas, of reducing the speed limit in built up areas from 30mph to 20. The main reason for this is that if a kid runs out into the road, as they often do, and you hit them at 20 then they are twice as likely to survive as if you hit them at 30. My first ever emergency stop was for that exact reason, a kid ran out into the road ahead of me chasing a football. It shocked my driving instructor who had been concentrating on filling his pipe at the time (it was the early 1990s when regulations around smoking weren’t as tight) but he complimented me of my observation and reactions. A lot of people struggle with hill starts, it’s just practice. When I first started learning to drive, because of the area I lived in, practically every start was a hill start so I got good at them fairly quickly.

I drive regularly in Germany (mainly the south), one observation is that German drivers stick to the speed limits more than the UK because of "blitzys" (automated speed cameras) appearing without warning and they are everywhere! Drivers also never say thank you 🤣

Hi Jen, I'd suggest you have a few lessons with the best driving instructor you can find, to give you confidence and correct your faults. In spite of any aggressive drivers you may have had the misfortune to encounter, the UK is the third safest country to drive in in the world. Only Norway and Ireland are safer. I have mixed feelings about bringing in speed limits for the whole autobahn system in Germany. On the one hand I have enjoyed watching videos of Porsches been driven at close to 200 miles per hour on unrestricted sections of the autobahn. Although that was with an experienced racing driver at the wheel. On the other hand I have seen numerous videos of accidents, often fatal, where speeding was the direct cause of the accident. My feeling is that there should be a speed limit on all autobahns for the normal driving licence holder. The average person doesn't have the skills needed to control a car at high speed. But that there should be a super-licence for people who can prove they have sufficient skill to drive at high speeds and they and only them should be allowed to drive at unrestricted speeds on the autobahn, when it is safe to do so.

London or any big city is awful to drive in and more likely to have a crash. I live in Sussex and have an old 3ltr BMW 530D and my insurance is £36 a month... Scotland would be a great place to drive not towns or cities.

The Isle of Man has no speed limit, unless the changed it recently

I miss watching your videos... Where did you go? 😢

liz truss is thinking of taking the speed limit off UK motorways

Luckily you don't live near Swindon with its magic round about, haha. They go anticlockwise round the inner island like in Germany, for me that's not "magic" that's scary (being from a right-side-driving country). Apparently it even scares Brits (see Wikipedia). I like your opinion on speed limit in Germany. It's cool (there are even tourist packages!) and I also benefited several times, but saftey should be the first choice. But I am not German, so your opinion counts more - we will see the outcome of the disscusion in Germany. I once read, there are other countries with no speed limit but none of them have proper roads to go that fast.

ACPO Guidelines for speeding thresholds are still 10% +2 Mph I believe.

I HATE the narrow roads in the uk, horrendous However Germans speed way too much and there should be higher fines for that. Its bloody dangerous

Is it easier to drive in UK or in Germany ...like less road rage and so forth ?

Have all your transport modes completely reversed? I am curious. Did you use a car in London (going with someone else) or a bike? Do you use a bike in Rochester? Or busses? Or are the timetables useless? Or are the roads too narrow or too hilly to bike? Or is the car simply too convenient? Maybe worth an additional video if you like.

time to check the stats more carefully regarding german autobahn or fatal accidents cause the UK have what amount of heavy truck / lorry traffic compared to germany ? Ah UK must be the big european cross or hub where every lorry gets through like in germany from the scandinavian countries to italy and from Poland and Baltic state to the Netherlands or France and Belgium. And these lorries cause heavy accidents with a high fatality rate rushing into cars at the end of traffic jam just killing 8 by crushing those 3 cars to a 3 m block. 8 innocent killed and the polish truck driver had been drunk reading his phone in that moment cause he had swiped in the second of the crash and has been convicted to jail. Check the cold war german autobahns from east to west : close to zero traffic to Holland. You could go from Osnabrück to the dutchh border roughly 100 km in less than 25 minutes fully legal. Yes, needs some experience to drive so far and to know the car pretty well, but ones you are used and trained you now the conditions that are needed for that quite well like good tyres and dry streets not too much traffic or wind. And if you drive 50.000 km and even more a year you are trained quite well - without a single accident I had caused in the 20+ years of driving. And it makes a difference to drive a small car or a big twelve cylinder engine at certain speeds and above , also the safety and assist systems have improved a lot that are not available in a twingo at least the 2021 one I had tested a year ago that broke down with a dead bms (was an electric one) compared to the e-Up from VW. But that had been part of a job from time to time as changing my car every 6 months due to high milages cause 6 months old 25000 km was a lot for here. I still enjoy driving fast from time to time if needed or wanted but I also look for the consumption cause at the end even with a big EV and its 110 kWh battery like in a Mercedes EQS high speed eats range pretty quickly. I can do 660 km with a full battery at 120 km/h or I can drive 330 km if drive about 220 km/h but that has always been the same cause the big 12 cylinder could be driven about 9 liter and beyond 25 liter / hkm - it simply depends.

Do you have a manual or auto trans Jen? Just curious when you reference hill starts.

I got a fine for going 34 in a 30 but took a course for £110 and got no points 😑

You are still a beginner, the more you drive the easier it will become.

Well done......i wonder if you swear in German or English at a large multi lane roundabout......don't worry if you mess up at a roundabout.....stay in lane, if it;s the wrong exit,you can turn around at the next one.Buy a cheap sat nav.....the 3D map shows all the lanes well in advance. For a first time speeding offence, they offer a course....it's very informal,just agree with everything for an easy life............The letter informing you of a speeding offence is scary . They wording and tone make it clear,you are a criminal.......I quickly booked a course before they could came around with handcuffs.

I always wondered why automakers provide speeds of 140-160 miles an hour, when this speed can't be achieved on the roads of the US since it is against the law.

Avoid cameras and you'll never get fined at
