Driving in New York

When you have a Brooklyn discount rental car, you may still want to try to take the subway when you can. Driving in New York can be frustrating at times with the cost of parking and time factored in. However when you need to drive in the city, there are a few things that you should be aware of. First of all, you need to pay attention to the signs and people in the city! It seems like an obvious thing to do, but there are a number of signs that will tell you what you can and can't d at certain times, such as turn on a red. In areas where there are a lot of pedestrians, they may not pay attention to the cars, so you will need to make sure to watch for them and not get distracted by the view. In New York City, you cannot turn right on a red light, unless there is a sign saying so. If you get caught, you will get a ticket. You will also need change for parking since most meters only take quarters. If you are lucky, you may find a lot that takes credit card, but be prepared to pay up to 25 cents for every 10 minutes you park. And speaking of parking, watch the signs as well. If the street doesn't have ANY cars parked there, it is probably a good sign that there is no parking at that time, so play it safe and find somewhere else to park, or you may find your car towed.
