A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK. 在英国人们靠路的左边开车。In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries,but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts(环岛). British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called“jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you. You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this. If another driver flashes(闪烁) his car’ s lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn(喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude. If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison. 1. Please translate the underlined sentence into English. 2.
