The United States and Canada share a number of driving laws and customs, but there are some significant differences between the countries. Here’s a quick and easy guide to a few things that Canadian drivers should keep in mind when driving in the United States.
Laws can vary widely from state to state. For instance, some states have laws that allow you to turn right at a red light, just like in Ontario, while other states prohibit it. It’s also a good idea to remember that American speed limits are posted in miles per hour, so make sure you’re watching the right part of your speedometer. Failing to follow the law of the land could result in a ticket, or even an arrest in certain cases.
