True story, second time: California originally had high-speed sections in road tests, but after several crashes that injured several examiners (the kind that leave people disabled), they changed the rules and no longer conducted high-speed exams.

The terrain on Highway 1 is steep and dangerous. Americans drive according to the rules. If you drive slowly, 20 cars will follow you without overtaking. It's strange if you're not nervous.

Highway 1 in San Francisco is full of sharp turns, steep inclines and declines, and winding roads. When I drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles two years ago, I was quite nervous, and I consider myself an experienced driver. If you are a beginner, I really advise against driving on this road. It's better to drive in your home country for at least 2 years before attempting to drive in the United States for safety reasons.

You can drive with confidence, don't listen to alarmist statements from above.

Hello, I would like to ask if I should drive back to San Francisco from Los Angeles after my trip on the 22nd and then leave for Los Angeles on the 23rd via Highway 1. However, I need to be back in San Francisco on the 27th to catch a noon flight back home. Would it be better to drive back to San Francisco from Los Angeles or is it more suitable to take a 1.5-hour flight back to San Francisco on the night of the 26th from Los Angeles ?

I arrived at San Francisco Airport at 20:25 on the evening of the 24th local time. I need to adjust to the time difference and won't be picking up the car in the city until the 26th. I would like to ask a few questions: first, how long does it take to go through customs? Second, I will be taking a taxi from the airport to a hotel near Union Square with my five-year-old child. I heard that California requires a safety seat, but I'm not sure if there will be one in the taxi. Third, it would be even better if there's someone leaving San Francisco on the 26th to join me in driving on Highway 1 ? United States Q&A

I would like to drive to Yellowstone for 6 days in mid-June. On the first day, I plan to drive from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone, and I want to visit Grand Teton National Park on the way and stay outside Yellowstone at night. Question 1: Do you have any recommendations for hotels and restaurants outside Yellowstone? I have no preference for the taste. On the second day, I will enter Yellowstone National Park in the morning and drive for 5 days inside the park. Question 2: How should I plan the route to make it more suitable, hoping to visit all the attractions? Question 3: Can you recommend suitable hotels based on the route without too much backtracking? My budget is 500-1000 RMB per day, and I can accept 2000 RMB if necessary. Question 4: How can I solve the dining problem inside the park? Any recommended restaurants along the way? This is my first time traveling so far from home, so I have quite a few questions. I hope friends who have been there can help me. Thank you very much ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
