HowTo_Drive

Drivers must keep to the left side of the road.
Vehicles turning left get the right-of-way. If you are turning right, the oncoming vehicle has the right-of-way. Wait until the oncoming vehicle has gone straight or turned left before you turn right. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way, whether you are turning left or right, so pay extra attention to pedestrians when turning.
Pedestrians always have right of way. Before turning left or right, if you find pedestrians passing at a crosswalk or pedestrians at a crosswalk without a traffic light, stop and wait for them to cross at the road. When bicycles pass at a crosswalk, wait for them in the same way.
You must stop before crossing railroad tracks. Come to a full stop and check that no trains are approaching from the right or left.
Both the driver and passengers must wear seatbelts while driving.
The driver must ensure that any passenger younger than 6 years old is seated in a child seat.
No passing in the area covered in orange line.
