Driving Rules and Regulations in USA



Speed limits:
Speed limits are different in different states but usually maximum allowable speed on highways is 65 to 70 miles per hour. Maximum allowed speed in Washington, D.C and Hawaii is 55 miles per hours. In western states with wide highways, such as New Mexico  Idaho, south Dakota and Wyoming the speed limit is up to 75 mph. If you will not follow these speed limits you could be jailed for 15 days.

Traffic Signs
When approaching a four way intersection at the same time as another driver to your right, you should allow him to go first. If you are the person on the right, you get priority. At a four-way or two-way intersection in which you and the person across from you arrive at the same time, the person who is not turning is given the right of way. Although the situation does not arise often outside of large urban areas, if you are driving on a one-way street in which traffic flows to the left, you are allowed to turn left even if the light is red as long there are no signs posted to the contrary.

Traffic Signals
American traffic signals work with a three-light system in which red means stop, green means go and yellow means slow down. In most states you can turn right on red after stopping, unless there is a visible sign warning against that. A flashing red light should be treated as a stop sign, meaning that the driver needs to come to a stop and check for the right of way. A flashing yellow does not mean you have to come to a stop, but you should slow down in case of oncoming traffic.

City Road Laws
Cities have legal jurisdiction over road rules and speed limits within their boundaries. Speed limit signs are posted along all roads. The driving speed is usually 40 mph for multi-lane thru streets and 30 mph in residential areas. Expect to slow down to 15 mph in school zones where signs are posted and flashing lights are operational during school hours.

Right Side of the Road
Americans drive on the right side of the road when there is traffic going in two directions. Most foreign countries follow this convention, but it can take some getting used to for drivers from those countries where the car is driven on the left side of the road. In addition, passing is always done to the left even when there is a large amount of shoulder space on the right in which to pass.

Stop Car Without brake



Now cars are coming with so many built in safety features but remember car is a piece of machinery that works with moving of thousands parts and everyone know that machinery can brake down. Sometimes you feel that you lose grip of your car and car brakes don't work even if you try to put the car to full stop. Now there is only one option that you stop your car without brakes. It might seem to be impossible, but if you will use some certain techniques then you can definitely stop the car. Here are some methods to stop the car.


Don't Panic, Try to maintain presence of mind:

If you will get nervous, your reflexes will consequently become shaky and the more you'll not be able to maneuver the car. Overreacting will make this situation more dangerous. With alert thinking and calm approach you can think clearly and act appropriately.

Shift into first Gear:


If you have modern car and equipped with full manual transmission system then it will be easy to shift gears to slow down the car. Shifting into lower gears helps slow you by using your engine to slow car. If you have an automatic transmission , downshift a gear at a time into low range. Be careful, don't downshift too quickly, downshift rapidly. This method works by using the compression phase of an engine to slow down the car.

Pump your brakes:
continuously pumping of the brakes many times may rebuild enough pressure in the braking system for you to stop it will help control the speed of the car until you come to a full stop. If your car is going on high speed and you realize too late it's brakes are not working, chances of accident will increase. Don't panic in this situation especially when are not being able to stop the car, but keep pumping on the brakes until you are able to slow it down.

Emergency brake:
Generally emergency brake can stop a vehicle but it will take longer than usual to come to a stop cause it only stops the rear wheels. There are two types of emergency brakes, first one is the brake that can be activated by hand and the second can be activate by foot. The use of emergency brakes can be dangerous so you should do this carefully because a sudden step on the brake might cause the car to spin and worse, turn over. The wheels might shut in and the more you will lose control.
