LOL I drive a Dodge Ram Pick up, the wife, a USC.......Mini Cooper

Amber - (comes before red but on it's own). Stays amber for 1 second for every 10mph on that road (55mph = 5 seconds). Most americans think Amber means if you can SEE it's amber, you can still go, even if you saw it from a mile away.

Amber - normallys comes after green but NOT in the USA. Goes from red to green THEREFORE it does not catch your eye. As a new USA driver, you will be sitting at green, like a lemon until some honks at you.

I'm guessing you'll be taking the bus after reading this thread anyway. That's a little easier than driving except you normally can't get to within 6.2 miles of where you actually want to be. You use a cab for that last 6.2 miles but there won't be one in that area. I'm guessing, that trip to Majorca is looking closer by the minute !!

NJ Amber- push your foot to the floor until your toes bleed

Honking not recommended for most of AZ unless you have bullet-proof glass and armour plating on your vee-hic-ul. It just isn’t done, NY plate or not!

I do it all the time! Haven't had any problems yet, as you can tell, cuz I'm still here!!!

Guess you ain't heard of "Culloden"

Not many Yanks at Culloden either

Or jocks....afterwards.

NM Green - Keep going
NM Amber - Speed up
NM Red - Keep going, same as you were...

NJ Red, stop if you're the 5th car through

Holy scheise! Please be careful!

You missed out "flashing amber for the pedestrian"

Double declutch down one, flick N2O switch, right foot through floor.

You're brave starting out in Boston. They must have the most selfish, mean drivers in New England. Just be aware of them pulling out right in front of you, specially if there is a mile of empty road behind you. They always want to be first out of a junction and god help anyone that gets in their way. Once you get onto quieter or country roads, you should not have much problem. Good luck.

Driving in Boston was heaven compared to NJ.

Just remember to leave a major credit card and your DVLA green/pink effort as security (unless you have a new EU photo ID one).
You won't be able to leave an empty glass bottle of Barr's Irn Bru as a deposit

Most folk in Beantown will like you if you're a Celtic fan, so if you're a Hun, keep your sash out of sight whilst driving
