Driving in the USA

It's worth a mention, if this is to be your first visit to Orlando, then standing in line waiting for your car hire was the worse thing, the rest of the time you will be fine, remember again this is a big place, there are more people, more things to do & more places to visit, which all adds up to more CARS!, so one thing to remember after the 9 hour flight, after the heat has hit you, after you have took the wrong turn again & said a dozen times "I am never doing this again" Don't Panic!, take your time, familiarise yourself with the car, study the maps, plan a route to the parks, look for landmarks to remind you of the route & watch out for the Guide Markers located all along the road.

It's not difficult here, it's just different, think BIG, the Orlando area is very spread out & generally you will have to drive a distance to get from one place to another, take Disney World for instance, it is larger than the Greater Manchester area alone, Disney has it's own road network & even it's own Fire Dept', nobody walks anywhere over here everyone drives. It may sound daft but it is a good idea, if possible use the Toll roads, it will cost you pennies to drive on them & the roads are normally quiet & Direct, a bit like mini motorways it is also a good opportunity to get used to driving your strange car as well, remember the speed limit is 55mph, (unless you see any different) you will see there are a lot of Police, Sheriffs & State Troopers driving about, whilst they can be fair on Tourists they can also be strict, just remember Don't Panic!
