If you are coming to stay in one of the many Holiday Vacation Homes Orlando has to offer from another country, you may want to take a look at our driving tips.  Driving in Florida is different from driving anywhere else. 

• When you leave your Holiday Vacation Homes Orlando, buckle up!  It is a legal requirement that the driver and all passengers must wear Seatbelts.
  
• Children under 5 must use a child seat, available from a car-hire company.

• Traffic lights are usually suspended on wires above the road. In Florida, it is legal to turn right on a red light.  However, stop and give way to any cars or pedestrians first. At some junctions this procedure is not allowed and there will be a sign which reads No right turn on red. When turning left at lights without a left filter signal, be extremely cautious and watch for oncoming traffic.

• Stop signs require you to come to a complete stop. If clear, start again but remember that at 3-way and 4-way crossings, cars are to proceed in the same order that they arrived at it.

• Holiday Vacation Homes Orlando are located in residential communities, so there may be school buses around.  School buses are yellow and if one is loading/ unloading school children (it should have flashing red lights and red extended side flags) on a highway that is not divided by a barrier, then traffic in both directions must stop.

• Headlamps must be switched on in rain, fog and at dusk.  Just remember to turn them off when you get back to your Holiday Vacation Homes Orlando!

• Alcohol must never be carried inside the car, only in the trunk (boot).

·         Toll Booths are located on some major routes. Do not use the left-hand lane as this is only for vehicles with electronic passes to drive through without stopping. Should you inadvertently find yourself going through the E-PASS lane, do not stop, but continue driving through to avoid causing an accident.

• Lane discipline is less regimented than in Europe, so you may be overtaken on either side. You generally will not be overtaken in residential communities, such as the subdivisions where Holiday Vacation Homes Orlando are located.

·         Accidents happen and if you are involved in a Road Traffic Accident, call the police to the scene and do not move vehicles unless they are causing an obstruction. Report any accidents to your car-hire company as soon as possible.
