02 Sep Traveling? Here Are Some Small Tips To Consider

Labor Day Weekend is a high travel weekend and if that is part of your plans, make sure you also plan on not getting arrested. You laugh now, but we’re serious. You might be surprised at how ‘easily’ you can get in trouble in another state!

Not all states have the same laws. For example, turning right on red is allowed in California but not so in other states. If you do this in another state, a cop will likely pull you over. You can ride your hoverboard according to city and state ordinances in Alabama, but not at all in New York. In fact, you might not even be allowed to bring it on the plane with you.

Not all states have the same punishments. You can be fined more in another state for violating a law versus if you violated that same law in Alabama. Or what is an infraction in Alabama may be considered a misdemeanor in another state (which would then carry a harsher punishment).

We’re not trying to scare you since more than likely you won’t run into any problems, but it could be the smallest things you would never really think to think twice about. So before you head off on your trip, give your itinerary one last glance and think if there is anything you might need to do some extra research on.

But if you’re within Alabama then we certainly can help you. On the flip side, if you have friends and family coming into town, perhaps you’d want to inform them quickly about some laws like no phones while driving and needing to be 21 not 18 to buy cigarettes.
