    Hi guys!

    I'm so excited. I am one of a few people chosen by our company to go to the US for training, for 2 and a half months, and I was the chosen DRIVER!

    Solicit naman po ako ng advice sa inyong mga may experience. Alam kong ibang iba ang nakasanayan kong driving dito sa Pinas kumpara sa US, ayokong maticketan doon! Hehehe.

    Saka hindi lang sa driving, anything na ma-aadvice nyo po like mga bawal, dapat iwasan, etc. Salamat in advance!

    Stop means stop.
    Follow right of way rules all the time. Hindi porke nauna ka e ikaw ang may right of way. As in any country (and that includes the Philippines) right of way means "who owns the lane" and not whose bumper is in front. So a car on the lane may be 20 meters behind but you can not just cut in front.
    When merging in a freeway make sure you have the same speed as the vehicles in the lane you are merging into. Pag babagal-bagal ka mag merge sa freeway aararuhin ka ng mga 18 wheeler, or you may be the cause of a multiple pile up. So kung 65mph ang speed sa freeway merge at 65mph and not 40 mph.
    On a green light and you want to turn left you need to YIELD. That means you make sure there is a safe distance from oncoming vehicles before you make your left turn. They will not slow down for you, you are the one who must wait until it is safe.
    Use your signal lights.
    OBSERVE THE LIMIT LINE! That white line before the pedestrian lane is called the limit line. Pag lumampas ka dun at naka red light at may tumawid na pedestrian yari ka. Kung duraan lang kotse mo swerte, pag hinuli ka ng pulis for endangerment kulong ka pa. It is not just a traffic violation, it is a criminal offence because you endanger the life of pedestrians crossing on the pedestrian lane.

    -strictly follow the speed limits.
    -pag sa intersection at may "stop" sign, full stop ka, & not a "moving" stop.
    -iwas din sa swerving at unnecessaty change lanes, bubusinahan ka.

    2. Alamin mabuti ang mga road signs.

    3. Respeto po sa mga emergency vehicles (police, fire, ambulance). Kung maari, tumabi po sa kanan parte ng kalsada. Huwag haharangan ang intersection. Kung masyado silang malapit, huminto sa ligtas na lugar.

    4. For directions, gumamit ng smart phone o kaya gps. Malaking tulong po ang may mga ganitong gamit lalo na po kung hindi kayo pamilyar sa lugar.

    5. Ang klima po sa Wisconsin ay malamig kumpara sa ibang State pero May to August po ay mainit.

    6. Magdala po ng internationally accepted credit card. Lahat po halos ay tumatanggap ng credit card kahit street parking. Kung cash naman po, mas mabuti meron laging small denomination. May mga fast food chain po na ayaw tummangap ng above $20 cash.

    7. Self serve po ang mga gas station. Alamin din po ang appropriate na gas (octane level) para sa sasakyan na gagamitin nyo.

    8. Sa Wisconsin po ay limitado ang pwedeng mapasyalan pero pwede kayong mag drive papuntang Illinois. Doon po sigarado mageenjoy kayo.

    9. Kung magsha shopping po kayo, alamin nyo po ang sales tax. Iba't ibang State po ay iba iba rin ang tax rate. Sa Wisconsin po ay 5%. Sa Illinois po ay 6.25%.

    10. Kung meron pa po kayong gustong malaman tungkol sa driving rules sa Wisconsin, eto po ang link sa WI DMV
