Driving for first time in US

[Ridersmom]

I told my kids that you always stop when you see red-blinking, full light, stop sign. You need to come to a complete stop and yield to the other cars. Like Mick said-not rolling-stop.

After people rolling right through red my next big peeve is people who see a blinking red as an excuse not to stop-you still need to stop.

Remember it is safer to stop for a few extra seconds than to roll through.

Remember the white line is on the drivers side, if its not then your on the wrong side of rhe road.

My thoughts to add would be

- take a copy of map mans map with you- the sat nav in the cars can try to take you down service roads and there was a lot of roadworks when we went so the map was a godsend whilst we found our way around
- at a four way junction with no lights who ever gets there first had right of way ( took weeks to sort this one out lol)
- for our first time we paid for the toll sun pass thing so we could just drive right through with no worries
- our car always started each day with a chant of right hand side of the road for the first few turns
Have fun
