Tips for driving in Orlando

Your family's safety and well-being are the top priority on your Orlando vacation. Keep in mind that traffic rules in the United States are strict and are followed to the letter. Before arriving in Orlando, read, study, and remember the following tips:

• As of January 1, 2013, all international people who are going to drive rented vehicles will need an international license to circulate in the United States


• 1- Remember to drive on the right side of the road.
• 2- Legal speed limits are posted on the right side of the road.
• 3- You may turn right at a red light after coming to a complete stop unless a sign stating "no right on red" is posted at the intersection.
• 4- 4-way and 3-way junctions, take your time; whoever gets to the junction first goes ahead of you. Headlights should be on from dusk to dawn, as well as in fog or rain.
• 5- Turn off your windshield wipers when stopping at toll booths.
• 6- When police vehicles are in one of the break-down lanes, either assisting a motorist or pulling more than one vehicle at high speed, you must move into the lane, away from the police.
• 7- The law requires wearing a seat belt. Also, children under the age of 4 or under 40 pounds (15 kg) must be in a child car seat, usually available from your car rental company.
• 8- Driving while drinking or under the influence of alcohol is illegal. Appoint a “designated driver” in your group who will drink only non-alcoholic beverages and drive home safely.
