On the Move: Tips for Driving in Illinois

Adjusting to different driving cultures can sometimes be challenging. But don't worry! Here are a few tips to remember:

• Drive on the Right: Unlike the UK, traffic in the US moves on the right side of the road.
• Speed Limits: Although signposted in miles per hour like back home, do watch out for the variable speed limits.
• Don’t Drink And Drive: The legal blood alcohol limit is less than the UK. It's always safer not to drink and drive.

Money Matters

Though credit and debit cards are widely accepted, cash does come in handy, especially for tipping. The currency, US Dollar ($), comes in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills. Unlike in the UK, you’ll find 1cent ('penny'), 5cent ('nickel'), 10cent ('dime') and 25cent ('quarter') coins in circulation.
