Driving in Britain compared with Malta
Maltese drivers have an easier adjustment than most visitors because both Malta and Britain drive on the left. The difference appears instead in road size and journey length. Malta’s roads are compact and journeys rarely take long, while British routes can stretch across several hours between cities.
Traffic density also feels different. Malta carries heavy traffic on a small road network, especially around Valletta and the central regions, whereas Britain spreads traffic over a larger network, though congestion still builds around major cities and motorway junctions.
Weather adds another contrast. Maltese driving usually happens in dry conditions, while British roads regularly become wet and slippery, requiring longer braking distances and more caution, especially on faster roads.
- Both Malta and Britain drive on the left
- UK journeys are far longer than typical Maltese trips
- Rain affects grip more often on British roads
- Motorway speeds are checked across long stretches using camera systems
- British rural roads can feel wide compared with narrow Maltese streets
Drivers accustomed to Malta’s short cross-island trips often find British drives surprisingly long, with weather and motorway traffic becoming part of the journey rather than just the destination.
