  • Drink-driving is an extremely serious offence in the U.S. If police have reason to consider that you might be over the legal limit, they will pull you over and perform a breathalyser test on you.

Whilst in Washington, children smaller than 149 cm need to be in a child seat, with those younger than two being put in a rear-facing child seat.
  • It’s normally fine to drive your hire car across state and country borders, but you will need to request written permission from your agency to do so. If you do not get this, your insurance will become void.
