- eszed 3y agoSame here! I only developed a feel for the actual geography once we had a car. I love driving in London. It demands complete attention, like an action-oriented video game, and the culture (if you will) of drivers is a wonderful blend of courtesy and aggression. Like, if you sit waiting to make a turn onto a busy street you'll never find a gap, but if you assert yourself into traffic someone will always let you in; or, if you and someone else simultaneously arrive at opposite ends of a street with only one traffic lane you're immediately in a race with them to get to the pullout to let the other one by. It's great fun, and made everywhere else I've driven feel like easy-mode.
