Driving in the USA
Driving in the USA
Since we get a lot of people traveling to the US from other countries I thought it might to a good idea to put some driving tips on the website. So I have done some research and found a couple of sites that have some great information on them.
In North America you are required to drive on the right side of the road.
The speed limit varies, so always follow the posted speed signs.
Most states require you to wear a seatbelt while you are driving. The law on seatbelts in RVs also varies so we require one seatbelt per person while traveling in an RV.
HOV lanes are for “high occupancy vehicles. HOV lanes will be labeled and you are only allowed to drive in these lanes if you have at least 2 people in your vehicle. Check the sign to make sure that 2 people is the minimum as this may vary. There are large fines for driving in these lanes with fewer than the required number of people in the vehicle.
A lot of gas stations require you to pay before you fill up your vehicle. In these cases you can pay with a credit card or debit card right at the pump or you can go into the store and pay first and then fill your vehicle.
I have included links to 2 are of articles that I read as there is lots more information that will be helpful.
