Hi Holly, is it possible to buy a car just to learn how to drive in the UK? How does the insurance for it look like? I wish to buy one but I m afraid that I wont pass and stuck with it.

@@martamoskwa5031 It's possible to buy a car with your provisional license for learning. Insurance can be around £100. But of course can also be less or more depending on a lot of things. But the above is my experience.

Even though I can drive an automatic, I still found this video interesting. As you are driving a left hand vehicle, new drivers in the UK must remember the indicator switch is on the left - up for right and down for left. Apart from that, the controls are the same. I noticed, incidentally, the car was a UK built MINI.

[@dtc_uk]

Hello Michael. Thank you for you valuable feedback. The car was built in the UK and is a right hand drive.
However, I made a silly mistake with the camera lens. A mistake i will not be making in the future. Well spotted though.
