    "Parallel parking" 的中文為「路邊停車」。「併排停車」是一種危險的違規行為,也就是英文裡的"Double parking"
    我非常欣賞英國的交通環境與駕駛教育,英國人的路權觀念非常文明,且人們不會對那些危險駕駛的行為默不吭聲。
    反之台灣,台灣是以汽車主宰交通秩序的社會,政府不建設安全的人行道(台灣90%道路沒有人行道);駕駛教育制度落後,警察機關、公路機關都在散播錯誤的資訊、助長危險駕駛的風氣,逼迫人行要自行避開危險。而且在台灣,譴責違規的行為很容易被整個社會反過來攻擊,因為道路上九成的汽車、摩托車隨時都在違規,社會大眾不能接受自己的危險行為被指教,警察機關持續放任這種現象,助長大眾對「吹哨者」暴力相向的風氣。

      主要問題是在大部分汽車和摩托車的駕駛人上,警察的問題反而是minor problem. 法規寫在那,駕駛人不遵守在先。 台灣每年交通死亡人數約3000,等於每天死8人以上。

    • @UnitedBMSI
      @UnitedBMSI 2 роки тому +4

      ​@@FF-yb1vr 會說警察問題是minor problem,代表你對整個問題沒有通盤了解。警察不執法,誰來約束違規人?你去任何國家都一樣,只要某個特定項目、地區沒有在執法,違規行為就開始擴散。
      英國跟日本也會有這種現象,但他們交通執法九成都是積極的;在台灣看到駕駛在警察面前違規停車,從來沒看過警察開單的,會開單的都是有人報案才會去開。
      英國和許多歐美國家都在落實3E (Engineering, Education, Enforcement) ,只要其中一項做不好,就會阻礙其他兩項的成效。否認執法腐敗問題存在,無助於解決問題,只會讓你對問題的理解停留在表面而已。

    Most of Hong Kong people are very familiar with the UK traffic system, as it was almost directly copied from the UK. When I first travelled in Taipei City, I just did not know why vehicles still could turn right even green light was on for pedestrians.

    我是一個住在愛爾蘭的台灣人,基本上這邊的交通規則還有路型都跟英國一樣
    然後台灣的駕照是直接可以換愛爾蘭的Full License,不用任何測驗或上課,所以我很多法規比如說圓環的規則就是看UA-cam學的。
    很開心你今天做這個主題,讓我學到一些燈號使用的小技巧,不然有時候看大家在路上燈閃來閃去的還不知道他們是在溝通。
    然後愛爾蘭的Country lane真的也是超小條,然後大家車速都很快每次會車的時候都很緊張

    Years ago when I visited the Tower of London, I could had reached there easily by the Underground within 15 minutes. Instead I deliberately tried to find an old Road Master bus (I wanted a 1950s model, not the new one) to get there; the old buses only operated on no.5 and no.14 (maybe they were gone now). It took me some time to find the stop near Trafalgar square, and the bus took more than half an hour to the Tower Hill. The roads were indeed squeezy. But there was a kind old lady on the upper deck and introduced the streets and buildings we past such as the Fleet Street. So it did take longer in traffic, but it was a wonderful and worthy experience for a tourist.

    Hi Susie, thanks for the great video. I have been driving in the UK for roughly two years now. In regards (could I ask should we use “regards” or “regard” here?) to the lanes to the roundabout, if there are only two lanes, I learned that the left lane is for turning left or going straight on, and the right lane is for turning right. However, there are many exceptions e.g. the left lane is only for turning left like what you said. We really need to rely on the road sign, but if you’re not in a familiar area, it’s so easy to use the wrong lane. :’(

    The driving culture you share sounds quite similar to Australia. Flashing lights to the cars toward you could also be reminding those drivers that there is a speeding camera or a police checking block in front of them (behind me). In terms of overtaking, embarrassingly, I used the left lane frequently.

    @feliciafeng315 2 роки тому

    Thanks for sharing, really useful. I find the road in UK is quite narrow especially when lots of cars parking on both side of the roads, which pushes you to drive in the middle of the road. Super dangerous and also this makes the two lanes useless as all the cars are driving in the middle of the road. China has far wide road which there are at least 6 lanes and no parking is allowed on the road.

  • @hxy8586
    @hxy8586 2 роки тому

    It's funny since I find your bullet points all quite valid given my experience driving in the UK. As an experienced driver in the US, I rented (you guys say hire) a car in the UK in summer 2016 for a week - did a one-way trip all the way from outside of London (we took a train from London to Reading and picked up our car there) all the way to the Highlands in Scotland. It was fun yet we also experienced quite some nerve-wracking moments. No offense but I felt that people on the road were in general more impatient and less helpful in the UK compared to the US. On my first day there was a narrow winding country lane with a speed limit of 50+ so I was driving cautiously maybe 5 miles lower than the speed limit, and when the car behind us was able to finally pass us they yelled and gave us the middle finger; I never experienced that in the US. Parallel parking was also quite tricky given the narrow street and tight spot compared to the US, and how people were honking at you when you were a bit slow (even in Oxford). But other than that everything was awesome!! Roads were nice even though a bit on the narrow side for B roads, and signs were super helpful. And by the end I got the hang of it with roundabouts - how you just read the sign for where you're going and move to the correct lane. Can't wait to do a road trip again in the UK!!

  • @kinghengkeithleung3931
