AT 42 SECONDS YOU WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THAT WOULD BE 3 POINTS ON YOUR DRIVING LICENCE- it’s a joke btw, easy mistake when you’re trying to navigate
What a lovely calm southern accent ,you did amazingly well driving, you paid more due care and attention than many people I know, I hope you enjoyed your holiday
What! No more, I was enjoying that. As an ex continental lorry driver and driving on both sides and in different sided vehicles, I say what a good driver. Shame you didn't put more of your holiday up, it eas nice watching through your eyes and you seem like a lovely couple.
I grew up in this town! I’m currently living in California after moving here for university and seeing this video really surprised me and gave me warm memories of home. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a pleasant couple - thoroughly enjoyed sharing the road trip, the asides and comments. They were lucky with the weather, the countryside looked glorious. Hope they had an enjoyable holiday.
@@gordonhawkes4428 This USAer believes running a red light..anywhere..does matter. I believe it was unintentional, but the law makes no allowances for that.
Great upload. It's really interesting watching Americans driving through the small roads in England. I lived in the States for a few years and when I came back it took a long time to get used to driving here again. Hope you had a nice vacation, and hope the people were as friendly to you as Americans are to us when we visit your beautiful country.
Great drive lovely people but they were lucky they didn't have an accident as they went through a red light on part three 0.41 Correct me if i am wrong. So glad nothing was coming !!
I hope you had a fantastic visit to the UK. we'll let you off for running a red light! ;-) I am from England and have driven in Europe, so I know how tricky it is getting used to being on the opposite side of the road. At least we share a common language, it's more difficult when you can't read the road signs!
rob shaw Nah there’s no pity in running a red light when it was red for so long and they both didn’t see it, that’s just dangerous driving and you will not only be a danger to yourself but to others also.
you can go on a flashing amber if the crossing is clear, its a constant amber you need to stop for, but you can go over a constant amber if you cant safely stop
keyproductions100 the law says you can't, when approaching all traffic lights even if it's green you should be prepared to stop. If you go through on amber and you used the "it wasn't safe to stop" (even if you felt it wasn't) you can still be charged with running a traffic light... trust me.
Loved the video (especially the ladies commentary), you did very well driving round those narrow roads us brits are so used to them we tend to go a little fast down them. hope you had a good time in the good old UK.
Great driving on the UK country lanes, believe it or not most of the time you "CAN" go 60mph! You both sound wonderful and welcome visitors to our little Island. I hope you had a lovely time. And yes glen :) there was one set of reds that got ran, but to be honest I have done the same in unfamiliar environments. and yes John, it was strangely relaxing. Great Vid
Wonderful video -wonderful accent - and so interesting to hear your impressions - do hope you had a good stay and hope you;ll come again & entertain us again with your great video making XX
It's alway nice to hear & see what our American cousin think of my beautiful country. Personally I view a fair bit of the USA culture of Life is all about. Sadly a lot of it seem quite negative but I've decided to subscribe to your u tube channel because I have a feeling you guys will show me a real positive outlook of the states. I have real blood American cousins on my father side his elder sister who has now sadly pass married an American GI from second WW they are base in Tamper Bay area. I'm yet to visit them which plan to do soon. So I hope and look forward to seeing some great American culture via your eyes many thanks for the opportunity you guys bring us all. GOD Bless. Stuart
Mr. Hardy...I am biased, as I am a lifelong Anglophile here in Missouri, U.S.A. I've rarely heard a negative word about the UK. Some may not think we speak English, but most of us have an innate respect for the home of the 'mother tongue'..as well as English common law and representative government. I know the U.S. is not popular anywhere, deservedly! But I always hope to believe that our best chance at redemption comes from the patience and understanding of those with whom we share a common blood and cultural bond...the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
He missed they first light because Americans are used to the light behind above the road. It was off to the side. He probably just didn't see the stoplight.
Please come and visit Britain again and upload your journey to somewhere different. I was so relaxed after parts 1&2 of this series that it's unbelievable.
glenn stock Believe it or not that manoeuvre is actually legal in some US states and many (but confusingly not all) have a right on red law - which catches a fair few US tourists out over here.
+Rroff2 I believe every state has right turn on red after stop, after yielding for the other direction of traffic. The only exception is if there is a sign saying otherwise. The federal government finally ended the controversy with some states that chose not to. If you don't come to a full completed stop and roll the stop, don't be surprised if you get a ticket.
+SeaToby11 ah - was out there quite a long time ago and at the time it was quite confusing (even for the 2 Americans with me who were from different states).
Rroff2 When I am abroad I always take a cab, a bus, or ride their trains. I never rent a car. Some in the world drive much more aggressively than we do in the US. Even when I am in the US in the large cities I am not familiar with, I do the same. But I will drive throughout the US on interstate highways. Unfamiliar city streets are not for me.
+glenn “GuitarMan89” stock Straight through a red light when she says "Stay on this main road", no confusing the American turn right law there, they went straight on!
I’ve just stumbled across these videos during lockdown. Looks like you guys enjoyed the country - I hope you had a great time and do come back when you can!
Well done in getting to your destination. Navigational devices can be hit or miss regarding getting to your designation quickly and on A and B roads. You didn't need to take any country lanes at all but the Sat Nav said do it. I had a guy come from Derby to replace my windscreen and his Sat Nav had taken him down windy lanes and there was no need at all! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your stay in England. Love your accents :)
Local Trivia the bus that travels Dover ,Deal ,Canterbury is the 007 and the inspiration for Ian Flemmings famous Spy could explain driving. Ian Flemming had a house in St Margarets.
Actually, no: If it's on red, then turns to flashing amber, that's at a pedestrian crossing and you are allowed to go SO LONG AS all the pedestrians are off the road. If the light is red then turns to red AND amber, that's prepare to go but wait until it's green. If the light is green and turns to amber, it means it is about to go to red, you should stop IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO, but an emergency stop is not required. Suggest you check out the Highway Code before offering any more UK traffic advice...
What a great set of vidoes! So relaxing and fun to hear your commentary on the road conditions, other vehicles, architecture and the countryside. I'm English and know the conditions very well.
Deal is a delightful place - the Royal Hotel we see is actually built on the beach line and is well worth a visit - Admiral Nelson used to stay there. No free parking but the public car-park next door is very inexpensive. Slot machines and Candy Floss are difficult to find.
I’ve been inside the Royal Hotel…good choice…but I Stayed at “The Best Western” on Dover seafront..and the Premier on Dover seafront…i like staying in Dover because its better for shops and everything and i trip out to Deal ,Canterbury and Sandwich and Hythe and Folkestone..and Calais or Dunkirk..
The thing is about driving through red lights for Americans is that their red lights are not on posts at the sides of the road but evevated above the road in the middle. It is a lot easier for UK drivers to miss seeing them as they look for posts. Another rule in USA is generally you are allowed to run a red light when turning right (kerb to kerb) and instead of green filters they have red filters which impose a stop for turners unlike our green filters permitting a go with priority.
Watched all three vids through - was oddly relaxing. Fair play driving along country roads in a strange country, with unfamiliar rules, where they drive on the wrong side of the road. People may not realise how tricky that can be. At least you had good weather. Thanks for the vid - you seem a nice couple and I hope you both enjoyed the visit.
If you drove from London, then it looks you had the satnav set to.....shortest route setting? which can send you down narrow roads, as it only hast to save less than half a mile to send you down them instead of the main highway. I'm a native, and experienced the same thing when not knowing the area and using satnav.
Ive driven a million miles on british roads and never been on those . Liked your video it was brilliant oh you did go thtough a red light naughty (smacked hand ) the heavy you where following was in fact from holland (netherlsnds) that vehicle usually carries fresh tulips from amsterham on a weekly basis all over britain delivering to garden centres . Glad the weather was nice for you like i say brilliant video thank you
Red traffic lights usually mean stop. But for tourists we make some allowances. For them it means slow to a dead stop, look both ways, and if the junction is completely clear, stay exactly where you are you bugger.
He just calmly drove through a red light LOL
So, just like a Brit. lol
That's the most laid back and relaxed commentary by someone breaking the law that I've ever heard.
They drive through the amber, watch again
What a lovely, pleasant couple. I hope that you had a very nice time.

Me too ! On the Internet, no-one can hear you scream...
I thought they did but I wasn't sure
I spotted that too! They were lucky there was no police around.
scroll down to comment and there it is.
What a lovely calm southern accent ,you did amazingly well driving, you paid more due care and attention than many people I know, I hope you enjoyed your holiday
I can't believe I just watched all of that
+Muffin Man Me too, I wanted to see what happened at the end.
i watched all three for the same reason and i have to say i found it very relaxing

I was hooked to this.. this couple seem so sweet!
Her voice,,,,, like a massage of the mind,, so bloody relaxing

YES, VERY CIVILISED, UNLIKE SOME IDIOTS WRITING HERE. THEY MAKE ME FEEL ASHAMED
What a pleasant couple - thoroughly enjoyed sharing the road trip, the asides and comments. They were lucky with the weather, the countryside looked glorious. Hope they had an enjoyable holiday.
Who cares if they ran a red light, such well spoken and sincere people. Hope you enjoyed your visit to England...

The first light you went thru was red haha
I can’t see anything to laugh at, it could have been serious.

I dont know whether you where aware but you ran a red light at 39- 44 .. you lucky people
Lol, I noticed that too. Why am I watching this?
I mean the police would take pity on them
rob shaw Nah there’s no pity in running a red light when it was red for so long and they both didn’t see it, that’s just dangerous driving and you will not only be a danger to yourself but to others also.
What an adorable couple. Hope you had a great time in Kent.
@0'41 you went through a red light!
Love how surprised you are to see people walking in towns and traffic!! So much you hiccup every time you say veh - hic - cles!! 😉😂😂
Man this is great run the 1st red light and then go straight through flashing ambers .. Had me chuckling this did.. Hope you had a great stay!.
Flashing ambers mean stop for anybody already crossing.
Well that makes sense .. you not supposed to go through them anyway.
you can go on a flashing amber if the crossing is clear, its a constant amber you need to stop for, but you can go over a constant amber if you cant safely stop
Ahh i see I got it back to front upside down then lol.

For narrow roads try parts of Devon, Cornwall and north Wales. So narrow that cyclists have to fold their elbows in!

start the video from 36 seconds in, the light is red and he drives right through it, if the light is red, you stop!

What a gorgeous voice the lady has....hope you enjoyed your stay :)
That was really enjoyable,come again😀
How'dy'all come to stay in that town? It's WAY out the ways! Did ya Google 'UK Best Hotel DEAL'? lol
That was so funny you must stop at a red light the first light on the crossing was red you drove right through lol
If that was your first time driving in the uk, you made very few mistakes and I love the chilled commentary. Well done
0:37 Did he go over on red? lmao

What a lovely couple. Hope you had a nice holiday.
I could have watched a lot more of that!
Very nice video.
Given time, you will fit in just fine.
Glad you had such a nice day for this drive.
We are not always so lucky.
Good job guys. All clear and you didn't run over anyone. What more can you ask for?
What are you doing, are you colour blind. RED LIGHT!
you saw that too???? :-)
Yup, definitely went through the first red light, I'm amazed they didn't get hit.
I am pretty sure they have them in america to
There's cameras everywhere, pretty sure he got the fine
if we did that they be straight on us lol
Deal is a nice town, hope you made it up the coast to my home town of Broadstairs ? All the best to you both.
great videos guys love from Manchester uk
She's got a well nice voice

At 0.38 you quite clearly jumped right through a RED LIGHT! Hope you made it home safe.
They run a red light🤣🤣🤣
Oh god.....RED LIGHT!
Deal in Kent. Not a place you would expect international tourism! I have run a road race called the Deal Dinosaur a few times!
Glad he saw the 2nd red light.
I hope they had a great holiday 😊
I so wanted you to make it to your hotel! I was with you in spirit for that journey (shame about the red light 😐)
Nice video, pretty sure you ran a red light though at 42 seconds in!!
I was in the Royal Hotel before Xmas. Its a nice pub/restaurant.
Wish you had posted more of your trip to Deal and what you thought of it.
Great Video, laughed when you went through red light.
Great vids guys glad you enjoyed our little country ;-)
