INFORMATIVE 
Tags: driving, america, travel
If you drive in the USA, remember that each of the 50 states has its own set of traffic laws and regulations. Fortunately, most of the laws are the same, but some states have slightly different rules. When you rent a car, you should ask the agent if there are any special driving rules in that state. When driving in multiple states, check a tour book for any special driving rules in each state.
| | The speed limit in most states is now 65 miles per hour (about 110 km/hr) except where signs indicate slower speeds. |
| | The minimum age for driving is 16 in most states but some states will not allow unrestricted driving until 18. |
| | Nearly all states have laws requiring the driver and front passengers to wear seat belts. |
| | Many states require children to wear seat belts even in the back seats. |
| | Most states require motorcyclists to wear helmets. |
| | Some states permit you to use radar detectors, while other states prohibit them. |
| | Some states require you to use daytime running lights during rain. |
| | The speed limit in front of every school is 15 mph when the warning lights are flashing. |
| | The American Automobile Association (AAA), commonly called the "triple A", provides some wonderful services to drivers. They have offices in every city and most of the larger towns in the US. |
| | The USA has an extensive system of interstate highways and state maintained roads. Some of the major highways are toll roads often called turnpikes, but most are free. |
