what do you mean about "the red and amber togther before green (Like the UK)"?
what does this do?
I've been to Europe a bunch, but never the UK.
I'd like to though, but I'm scared of driving on the wrong side
And, yes it is the law...but you do have to be more careful about the idiots behind you. I always take me foot of the gas and have it hovering the brake as I go through a intersection anyways, do to being in a wreck with my Mom driving when I was younger. I generally stop on yellow, but it really depends on who's behind me.
