I am less familiar with the Scottish border, but other than it being a physical border (mountains) I imagine it is similar. But within Great Britain the rules are the same. I deliberately avoided United Kingdom. I know Northern Ireland has slightly different rules such as lower speed limits for recently qualified drivers. > > FWIW, there are slightly different rules in different states, like > learners are limited to 80kph in NSW.

Different cities, that is beyond what a driver can be expected to know.
