What safety issues should you pay attention to when traveling to the UK?

1. Traffic safety

You need to remember to drive on the left. Unlike in China, when traveling in the UK, the habit we must develop is: drive on the left. Don't be a hunker and look at your phone while walking. It is very dangerous at any time. Not only is it a traffic safety risk, but there is also a risk of your phone being stolen or robbed.

It can be said that news about mobile phones being robbed is very normal in the UK. The targets are mainly those who play with mobile phones while walking on the road. Likewise, no matter the day or night. According to the BBC, an average of 314 mobile phones are lost on the streets of London every day, and a stolen iPhone can be sold for 250 pounds. So on the street, this matter should also become the focus of attention.

What should you do if someone around you or you are involved in a traffic accident? Do not hesitate to call 999 for an ambulance first, and then ask for help from pedestrians.

If a traffic accident occurs in the UK and the injured are very serious, the driver must stop and wait for the arrival of the police and ambulance. If the driver escapes on the spot, don’t worry, the British dragnet is like a dragnet. The camera will be your strongest evidence.

2. Property security

Generally, common crimes in the UK are theft and robbery. The former often occurs in crowded and bustling streets, while the latter often occurs in busy streets. To prevent these two things, you need to be vigilant at all times.

For theft, don’t carry too much cash. If you can’t afford it, don’t carry any identification documents such as your passport or student ID. Always hang your bag in front of you and keep it within sight, especially when walking. Places with lots of people, such as near Big Ben and the London Eye, or places like Camden Town where people are mixed.

There are two main types of robberies. One is a gang of speedsters, who ride bicycles and motorcycles and snatch away bags or mobile phones before running away; the other is road-blocking robberies that mostly occur at night.

There have been fewer speedsters in the UK in the past two years, but we still need to be careful. Try to walk on the inside of the road, carry your bags on the side away from the motorway, and avoid using your phone with your head down on the street. party.

Be sure to remember that your property is always less than your personal safety! Everything is about protecting yourself first. Even if you lose money, you must avoid disasters. Don't think about transforming into a superhero or a gangster.
