    Thanks for helping to clear up some questions I had about the left turn signals when highway driving. I did understand how it works basically but was always worried about what if it really is to signal a left turn?

      Yeah, it can be confusing and that’s the best way I have learned how to deal with the passing vs left hand turn situation.

    I shared this guide with some friends last week who are talking about driving down for the very first time and they really appreciated it. It’s actually a very comprehensive guide and good for even us veterans to re-read from time to time. Thank you for all the effort you put into it.

    I have read it and it does have a lot of great info, but I would suggest you consider adding a paragraph or two of the pros and cons of taking the 5 south vs sticking to Mex 1 the entire way down.
