Word of warning, your entitlement to drive in the UK on a US driving licence expires once you’ve been in the country for a year, also learn and do the test in a manual transmission car as that allows to drive manual and automatic cars, take the test in an automatic then you can only drive automatics.

I absolutely LOVE Stevie and No offense intended to any American, BUT this is literally how all conversations with an American always play out lol. You can quite literally be in the middle of explaining something as simple as a breakfast recipe or something to them, and they'll just be like _"But what's a Banana? Do you mean yellow handgun fruits???"_ lmao
@Ginger lol "Anti-American xenophobia" is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. America is a nation and commenting on the state of a certain nation does not make you xenophobic, since nations are mere political constructs that do not resonate with the personal identity of anyone else but a nationalist. Personally, I don't mind being mean or offensive towards nationalists, because frankly, they deserve it
I'm from India, never been to the UK, never driven, and I guessed a lot of the terms correctly. Dunno if it's because of the centuries of colonisation or if i lucked out. Hmm. 👁🤷♀️
It does help that both India and the UK drive on the left and also most questions on the test are very easy for anyone with some common sense to answer as it’s normally just the safest option!
When I moved to Australia from the states I did the same. Except driving on the other side of the road and shifting with my left hand was so crazy. Good luck😃
Not sure if England, but there are certainly puffins in the UK!! (source: I've seen a colony of them in Northern Ireland 😃 they're ADOOOORABLE) Mind you..... the crossings are zebra (basically just the one without its own traffic lights), pelican (with traffic lights), puffin (like pelican, but with sensors), toucan (for pedestrians *and* cyclists - "two can cross" = "toucan crossing". Yes, terrible puns are present in the UK law, too 😛), and - my personal favourite - pegasus 😂😂 (for horse riders 😄) So..... yeah, not all of these exist in the UK (or, indeed, reality), sadly! 😄
What about the show me, tell me questions you have to know in prep for your practical driving test? Those are fun 😂 Questions on your theory and then questions on your practical it never ends!
Coming back from a stressful day at work to this video has just made my evening. Can't even explain the amount of times I've laughed. Stevie, you're adorable and funny too x
Stevie just wait for your practical test. I kept opening and closing the windows cos I was getting to so hot and nervous with the driving instructor sitting next to me. Which really helped calm my nerves because then I ran 2 red lights (one of which a family were trying to cross) and almost missed an exit on the motorway, but instead of just accepting I'd miss the turn, I slammed my foot on the break from 80mph to 15. Safe to say I failed that one. 2 tries later I finally passed. Good luck!
I rented a car in the UK once when I was there five years ago. They "upgraded" me to a Kia Sorrento SUV, thankfully I only road up on about six curbs... I will say, I like the round-abouts in the UK much more than the circles in New Jersey!
this was a great revisision for me and even extra hard bc i live in austria so i did my drivers license here and had to convert the questions into german haha. But believe me, everyone feels like drivers tests are unbearable and then you study your ass off and eventually pass. you got this!
Lmao as an American I also had no clue what most of these words were. I live in New England and just recently learned what a roundabout is, here we call it a rotary. 😂
When I was 14 my mum and I came from aus to the UK for a holiday and mum drove over a min roundabout bc in aus they are big like the one at Heathrow airport it was funny as hell.
@@unintentionalmishap. oh well, that makes the difference. We don't have any test here on Argentina. Just a quick formulary, simple vision test and a quick 2 minute driving, (i don't remember the word) thing where someone check that you now how to start the engine, speed up, stop, put the turn light on (and off), turn and park
Years ago I saw the band 'Modern English' at this teeny little club in Chicago. They pulled up in their rental van, which was being driven by one of their road crew -and oh my, was the thing beat to hell! Dents all over, etc. I said hello to their guitarist, who struck up a conversation with me (and he put me on the guest list which was very cool) - I asked him about the condition of the van, and he replied, "yeah, we didn't think driving in America would be so confusing; we didn't even make it out of the airport parking lot without hitting a lamp post there; then backed-up into a parked car at another lot only hours later when we stopped to eat".
You should try to take a Polish driving test! It's 32 questions pulled randomly of a database of over 2000 questions. You need to reach at least 68 points out of total 74 points (each question is waged). It's quite hard to pass that test
Thanks for doing this. I’ll be saving this video to my favorites so I can review British English terms when I get ready to take my British license test in the future 😂. I’ve been driving for 12+ years in the US and I found this so confusing lol
All these questions are mostly common sense though. At least you don’t have to know the specific fines of a junior operators license vs regular license!!
Stevie, you just need to watch all of Doctor Who, and add several British TH-camrs to your rotation! You'll pick up the lingo in just a few short years, I promise!
This is way cute. I had the same issue with my British gf.. and I'm Canadian.. and we were amazed at all the cultural differences that we would come up against. In the end.. it's just a communication thing.. so I hope Stevie just knuckled down and studied and got the driver's license!
Stevie buy a copy of the highway code and read it, all road signs are listed in it and full list of the rules of the road (like who has right of way in different circumstances)... also I think explanations for different crossings (I really don't know why they hace animal names).... you might need an oxford English dictionary on hamd too. I left England 7 years ago, never drove but knew most the highway code.... completely different again here in Republic of Ireland.... if you're planning on driving through Europe, get studying as every country has different road signs ect (also avoid France, especially Paris)
As another American in England who is way more familiar with British English, you're reminding me how different the languages are because I don't even think about it anymore. This was hilarious.
Makes one wonder what it takes to get a drivers licence in USofA, point at a car and say car? 😂 Go for automatic Stevie! Safest that way, for the brits!
What is it like to be in a relationship and be polyamorous ?? I’m just curious. Btw I love your videos so much they have made me feel a lot more confident and happy 😊 💕
I went through crossings in my head like... ok pelican with lights, toucan is people and bikes, Pegasus is people and horses... Britain sounds like Mordor
As an American, I would want to take a class or at least get a textbook to learn things about British roads and signs before driving. I would also want to have locals drive me around to explain things and then have them in the car with me while I practice. All of this before I would feel confident driving there. I don't know anything about their signs, etiquette, or defensive driving policies. This might not be realistic if I were visiting but it would really scare me to drive before I have learned about these things. This quiz was scary haha
"This is my british gf" Stevie this makes things complicated when we are all lesbians here and we don't view "gf" as just friends 😂 what do you mean by gf?! This is confusing the gays
What is complicated about it? She's her girlfriend. Rarely do people mean that as a platonic female friend in modern society. The language used literally has nothing to do with sexuality either.
@@KaleidoSaurus I know a lot of people who use girlfriend in a strictly platonic way, and when I put "it's confusing the gays" and "we're all lesbians here" those were meant to come across as jokes. I am sorry if my comment upset you in any way
Your going to have to start reading the highway code most of its common sense. If you want a real test of wither you are ready for UK roads go and do the motorcycle CBT. You will not be allowed out on the road if you aren't capable of being on the road. Other point is that if you take a driving test either in a car or motorcycle that is automatic you cannot drive a geared vehicle. So it's best to learn in a geared car as you don't have a restricted license. Currently if you have an automatic car license and you want to drive a geared car you need to resit your driving test in a geared vehicle

It's fine driving in England, this test sounds more complicated than what it is lol.
