How does driving in a city compare to driving in the countryside?

C1Driving & getting aroundCompare

A natural way to answer

They demand quite different things, I think. City driving is all about concentration and quick reactions, whereas country driving is more relaxed but has its own hazards — narrow lanes, blind bends, the odd tractor.

Key phrases to use

  • cut someone off — to drive suddenly in front of another car, forcing them to brake or swerve“Some idiot cut me off at the roundabout and nearly caused a crash.”
