When you have arrived at your vacation destination, you of course are there on vacation and as such certain normal rules of driving are to be dispensed with immediately....

First, there is no need at all to drive any faster than approximately three quarters of
the speed limit, and possibly even slower. After all, you are on vacation and need not rush, right? The locals are sure to understand, even when they are late for work or just have someplace to go and things to do with their lives.

Second, never trust a sign that says, for instance, something like "13 miles to "The Tourist Trap". It may be a trick the locals are playing on unwary tourists, so of course you must instead come to an almost complete stop, or maybe even a complete stop, at every single road which branches off from the main one, just so you can sit in the middle of the road to inspect it to see of that is where you want to be going. This must be done at every single road from the time you see the aforementioned sign on through to the actual destination. Never mind if some of the roads you stop to look at are merely rutted two-track logging roads with weeds in the center, as these just might still be the extremely popular vacation spot which hundreds of people visit each day and which you are trying to get to. It could be someone has just planted grass in the center of the road and dug out 4 foot deep mudholes just to make it look untraveled, simply as a joke. If at some point you reach another sign that may carry a message such as "Only 3 more miles to the world famous "Tourist Trap", and there is no road apparently near it, slow down or even stop, and study this sign for a moment. You just might possibly be quizzed on its exact appearance later as a requirement to get in.

Third, of course the scenery is bound to be very beautiful and you may see some fascinating wildlife. If you are driving and happen to see something of great interest, it is expected that you may feel the need to stop in the middle of the road, fling open your vehicle's doors, and jump out with camera/binoculars/etc. in hand to take advantage of the sight. The area residents have come to expect this and really don't
mind waiting in a line behind you while you enjoy your visit to our area. Also, while this may be a dangerous thing to do normally, don't worry about it, as the area residents probably have exceptional reflexes and great braking systems anyway.
Besides, by not pulling off onto the shoulder of the road, you save our roadsides much wear and tear which our tax dollars would otherwise have to be used to repair.

A final topic to cover is not so much a fourth point so much as a sort of separate area altogether. It regards that 40-foot motorhome you've just purchased and have no idea how to drive. Well, now's your chance! You can learn how to pilot your 18wheeler-sized home-away-from-home-on-wheels on our roads! Feel free to try out the turn signals at random intervals, just to see how they work. Ditto for the brake lights. Test these repeatedly just to make sure they are reliable. Occasionally weave the vehicle back and forth across the centerline a few times either to check out the steering and handling, and/or maybe even because you are paying more attention to the scenery than the road. If you see a car coming down the road, pull out just in front of it, as local residents love to study all the stickers you have on the back of your RV from all over the country for the next 12 miles or so. Of course, you wouldn't want to overstrain the engine in your new RV, so don't try to drive faster than 40 mph with it. This will also have the added benefit of giving the vehicle behind you EVEN MORE time to study the back of your RV. This is why they are tailgating you, of course. And you thought it was because you were in their way, didn't you?

As a safety precaution, drive with the left side of the RV directly on the edge of the centerline of the road. This way, vehicles following you who for some reason do not appreciate the view of your license plates will not be able to see around that huge thing you're driving and will not be so inclined to try a passing maneuver, which could possibly be dangerous.

All other drivers are naturally very understanding about the difficulty of backing one of these things up, so people will have great patience with you when you decide to do so out in the road where there is lots of room (two whole lanes of it, in fact!) rather than in a driveway or parking lot, where hazardous objects such as other vehicles, trees, and buildings may be in close proximity.

If you find that you have not provided enough stopping room for your RV and find that you have passed your turn-off by perhaps a hundred feet or so, please do not inconvenience yourself by driving on until you find a place to turn around and finally return to this spot to try again. Merely back up until you are again in a position to make the turn onto the side road/driveway. This should not be a problem even on curves, as any cars that come up behind you while you are doing this will see the line of cars which has no doubt by now collected behind you which will extend around the curve so as to make your presence known, and thus any newly arriving cars on the scene will know to stop so as to avoid an accident.
