The Reality Reports

Driving Rules In Mainland China: Driving in mainland China comes with rules that may surprise visitors. One of the most important is that you must have a valid Chinese driver’s license to legally drive. Foreign driver’s licenses are not accepted, and international driving permits are also not valid for use in mainland China. This rule applies to both residents and visitors, even if they plan to drive for a short period.

Understanding Open Container Laws Across America: Most people think all states ban open alcohol containers in cars, but the rules are more complex than many realize. While the majority of states follow strict open container laws, several states have different approaches that surprise many drivers. Open container laws prevent drivers and passengers from having unsealed alcoholic beverages in the passenger area of a vehicle. The passenger area includes any space where people sit, but usually excludes the trunk or cargo area behind the last row of seats.
