DRIVING RULES & REGULATIONS

Washington state law requires that when you are traveling in a motor vehicle, the driver and all passengers must wear their seatbelts at all times.

Children weighing less than 50 pounds must be secured in a child safety seat.

Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense in Washington. A person is considered legally drunk when his or her blood alcohol level reaches .08%. It is illegal for anyone less than 21 years old to consume alcohol in any quantity at any time in Washington.

In Washington, parking meters and painted curbs are in operation and are closely monitored by the authorities. Citations and fines are expensive; to avoid them, be sure to read all parking signs carefully before parking your vehicle.

The renter is responsible for all parking, traffic, speeding or other tickets or violations issued while the vehicle is being rented and must pay for any fees, penalties, towing charges, or impound costs.
