Stay Calm and Drive On - More Tips for US Drivers in the UK If you want to see more of the UK and Wales when you visit, you need to rent a car and explore. Here are more hints and tips for Americans driving in the UK (and others not used to driving on the left). Also, some of the beautiful Welsh countryside you can expect to see. I take a drive around South Wales and Welsh valleys, to show you some of the types of roads and what it is like to drive on the left-hand side of the road compared to driving in the USA. On the way I stop at a hidden gem, the Melincwrt Waterfall as well as driving up to the Rhigos mountain viewpoint before heading down the Rhondda Valley. On the drive, we also experience the 20 mph Speed limit. ‘Driving In The UK For Americans - First Timer Tips And Mountain Views' - Filmed May 2024 #VisitWales #Roadtrip #SouthWales More Wales And Driving In The UK Videos: Top Tips For Visitors Driving In The UK: https://youtu.be/PB6LNp9B8m4 "How Narrow?" - More Tips For Americans Driving In The UK: https://youtu.be/z4LgzsFbxI4 Road Signs, Markings And Other Differences: https://youtu.be/8ibmbL4kdkQ Melincwrt Waterfall: https://youtu.be/FHOwF3cW8p8 Not All Vloggers Say ‘HiGuys!!!!!!’ ▶︎CONTACT US at http://www.flydriveexplore.com ▶︎ X https://twitter.com//FlyDriveExplore ▶︎FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/flydriveexplore/ ▶︎INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/flydriveexplore/
