Alright, so we just experienced driving in L.A., which was so much was fun.
But now, we gotta talk about something a little more serious.
Traffic laws.
Guys, traffic laws vary from state to state.
For example, in California it is illegal
to smoke with children in the car.
Do not do it.
Something else you don't wanna do is litter.
You'll get fined a thousand dollars if you get caught.
Even if you don't get caught, don't litter!
Just don't do it.
And some other things to think about,
there is the traffic signs, the toll roads,
the fast lanes, there's a lot of stuff to cover.
So let's just go ahead and check it out. Let's take a look, yeah.
Traffic signs, you have to always pay attention to the signs
anywhere you're driving.
Perfect example, the yield sign.
That means that you should yield to pedestrians.
So, if you're driving and you see a yield sign,
you're gonna give the pedestrians the right of way,
you're gonna allow them to cross the street before you continue driving.
You always have to be aware of the speed limit.
And know that it is in miles per hour and not kilometers per hour.
So it's very, very different.
Know the difference.
The speed limit changes from street to street,
so you're gonna wanna check constantly.
And at night as well, there's a nighttime speed limit on certain streets.
So make sure you're constantly checking your area to know what the speed limit is.
Also, something very important,
is the no parking tow zone, right?
If it says no parking or the curb is red,
do not park there.
You will get your car towed and you do not want that to happen,
especially with a rental car, because it's a big headache.
The left-right must turn lanes,
this is very important.
If you're in those lanes, you must turn left or you must turn right.
Please do not go straight because that can cause an accident,
and even if you do manage to avoid that,
the ticket is very expensive, it's not worth it.
Just turn left or turn right, because you must do it.
To avoid accidents, for your own safety,
we gotta talk about overtaking.
We should always, always pass a car to the left.
This is true, but sometimes when you're on the freeway,
there's so many lanes, it's not uncommon for a car pass to the right.
Right, it's illegal, but it's not uncommon. Yes.
So you gotta be safe, be very safe.
Motorcycles. Yup!
In California, motorcycles are actually allowed to ride
in between lanes.
In other states, it is illegal. Yes.
And they're not allowed to do that, so they must stick to one lane.
So you have to watch out for them, just be very careful,
be aware of your surroundings while you're driving.
You must respect the speed limit.
They vary from road to road. And you also must respect the carpool lane.
You cannot be in the carpool lane by yourself,
you need two or more people to drive in the carpool lane.
Absolutely, you also must respect road signs.
In some highways, you'll be required to pay toll.
Now, pay attention to drive in the right lanes in case there's a toll on the highway.
There are different lanes for drivers who have a pre-paid pass,
and another for those who will pay cash.
I think that covered all of it!
So, be aware of your surroundings,
always look at the signs
and just do your own research as well,
to make sure that you know the traffic laws
of where you're going.
L.A. is a nice place to drive! I love it!
I enjoy it, I really do!
Where should we go?
