Since you may be visiting from out-of-state, we’ve compiled a series of tips and driving laws you should know before picking up your car rental in Islip. In New York you’re not allowed to make right turns on red unless there’s a sign saying otherwise. Texting and driving is also illegal in the state of New York, so make sure you opt for hands-free mode if you must talk on the phone. Please avoid drinking and driving as well. You can be charged for a DUI if you have a blood-alcohol content of 0.08% or over. Any time you’re driving in an unfamiliar place, you should make sure to avoid distractions and be prepared for any unexpected situations. Regardless, we suggest you look up Islip’s department of motor vehicles for any possible changes in the driving laws.
