When you arrive at the airport and get your rental car,
ask for a map from the rental agent!
|
|
Before making a trip to your attraction destination, look
at a map to determine your route. This will make you more confident
when driving, keeping your mind on the road!
|
|
If you get lost, pull over safely, off of the thoroughfare,
to the side of the road. Only do this in a well occupied or
well lit area. Feel uncomfortable doing so at that time, proceed
till you feel comfortable with your surroundings. You may lose
a total of five minutes off your travel time.
Do Not Stop and look at your map in the middle of any
road or browse it while you are driving!
|
|
Study this map when you are in your Vacation Villa at night
or prior to your departure. Get familiar with the names of the
roads you will need to take. When you do this and actually drive,
you will have a better understanding of where you are.
|
|
In America, drive on the right side of the road. Remember
this because the steering wheel is on the left side of the car.
|
|
Slower Traffic should travel in the right
lane! This is a simple rule of the road. Even if you
feel you are in the rite (right), avoid aggravation by reading
the next part of this tip! Although the roads are full of speeding
individuals, be courteous and safe, pull over to the right lane
when being overtaken by another vehicle from the rear.
|
|
Use your turn indicators when making any directional change
such as turns, or lane changes. Let the other drivers know what
you are going to do, don't assume they know.
|
|
A safe distance between the vehicle in front of you is a minimum
of two car lengths, Use the two second rule, it's pretty safe.
One problem we have in America is that too many drivers are
in a hurry to get no where, be cautious and be aware of impatient
drivers! The best practice is to laugh to yourself and let them
have their foolish head's!
|
|
Obey all posted speed limits and try to move with the flow
of traffic. Nothing is worse than a driver
who is lost, looking at a map while driving 30 mph in a 65 mph
zone!
|
|
Speeding will be penalized by fines, in some areas, fines
are doubled! Driving below the posted minimum is also an infraction
and will also be subject to penalty or fines.
|
|
Avoid any altercation with any individuals. Do not acknowledge
their frustration and don't show any of your own.
|
|
Read all road signs and obey all directions!
|
|
Keep your car doors locked at all times!
|
|
Seat belts are mandatory and punishable by fines if not utilized!
|
|
All children are to be seat belted
or in a certified child safety restraint. Forgot to bring one,
most rental car agencies will rent them to you. Keep your kids
safe at all times, not when it is convenient!
|
|
Most Important! Always be aware of your surroundings and travel
in pairs, do not make any shortcuts. Don't travel or walk alone.
Do not carry all of your vacation money with you at once. Don't
carry cash, most places accept travelers checks. This way if
you lose it, you won't lose it all! Find a safe place in your
Villa to hide it!
|
|
Most Areas of the States are supported by the 3 digit phone
number (911) for emergencies such
as Medical, Fire,
and Police! This is not an information
number, so please don't call if you are locked out of your villa
or your car.
|
|
Use this number for Emergencies only!
