East Asian Drivers in Seattle
2008-07-25 by Just be happy
I have been to Seattle many times. I have talked to my colleagues before and they hope that next time I go to the United States on business, I will not come to Seattle or Redmond. After all, they are too familiar and boring. The rich nightlife in the United States as described in Hollywood movies is not there at all. After five o'clock in the afternoon, all the shops are closed and there is nothing good to go shopping. I can only stare blankly in the hotel.
This time I found that I still liked Seattle, because I finally rented a Chevrolet on armenia phone number data and bravely drove between Seattle and Redmond. It feels really good to drive in the United States:
1. GPS is a must: Driving in the United States without GPS is very difficult for us East Asian drivers. With GPS, there is no need to check the map. So this time I also rented a GPS when I rented a car, and it was so cool along the way.
2. Be careful when changing lanes: Americans drive very fast, most of the time at over 60 miles per hour (about 96 kilometers per hour when converted to kilometers), so don’t change lanes easily. Americans are generally very patient when driving. Even if the car in front is very slow and the car in the lane next to you is very fast, they will not honk at you. Just drive boldly. If you want to change lanes, in addition to looking at the rearview mirror/side mirror, you must turn your head to check the blind spot, otherwise it is easy to get into an accident. This time on Highway 5, I encountered a child who might have just turned 18 years old. Without turning on the turn signal or giving any warning, he directly changed into my lane less than 10 meters away, which scared me into a cold sweat.
