Traffic migration

The United States is called "a country on wheels" every day, and public transportation is underdeveloped. If you want to go to the supermarket to buy food or go to a restaurant, you must drive out. It's almost impossible to move here without a car.

Step 2 get a driver's license

If you have a valid driver's license issued by China, you can drive in Washington with the original driver's license from China, but you are advised to take your driver's license with you.

3. Obey traffic laws and regulations

In addition to getting a driver's license as soon as possible, new immigrants need to memorize some "minefields" of local traffic laws as soon as possible.

Step 4 fasten your seat belt

Every state in the United States requires drivers and passengers in the driver's seat to wear seat belts. Nowadays, many states are more strict, requiring passengers in ordinary cars to wear seat belts, or they will be punished if they are found.

5. Children sit in the back seat.

According to American law, children under 12 and 12 should sit in the back seat, and infants under 4 should use special seating devices.

6. when you meet the "s" sign, stop for three seconds

According to the traffic rules in the United States, as long as there is an "S sign" sign at the intersection, no matter whether your car is going straight, turning left or turning right, you must stop first. If there are no cars in other areas, you can cross the intersection after three seconds, and you must follow the principle of first come, first served.

7. The punishment for drunk driving is very heavy.

The penalties for drunk driving in American traffic are also quite serious. States also impose severe penalties on drunk driving, except fines, points deduction and imprisonment as appropriate.

8, pedestrians on the sidewalk first.

At every intersection in the United States, there are basically traffic lights that indicate pedestrians, and pedestrians follow the instructions of this traffic light. Sometimes, because there are few pedestrians, the traffic lights don't always turn green. So, when you want to cross the road, you will find a button on the post by the roadside. Press it and the control center will know that someone is going to cross the road. After a while, the green light will come on. If you drive across the intersection and pedestrians cross the road, pedestrians have the right of way anyway, which is the minimum common sense in the United States.
