It is very profitable to travel by car if you have a big company. If there are more than three passengers in a car, the car gets the privileged status of a «carpool», and so it can ride on a special «carpool lane». Otherwise, driving on this lane is prohibited, and a fine for violating this rule can range from US$300 to US$1000.
While driving, it is prohibited to pick up travel companions. In some states this is illegal. If there is a parked car on the side of a deserted road, you shouldn’t stop to help. There are special services for that.
The territory of each state has the specified speed limit. It is very simple to find it out - just pay attention to the signs installed along the roads. While driving through a residential area, the speed limit is usually 25-30 mph, and the «freeway» limit is 65-70 mph.

Enjoying SUV and sightseeing of San Antonio
San Antonio is the place where first Spanish explorers landed in the late 17th century. That significant event took place on June 13, 1691. This day falls on a religious holiday, the Day of St. Antonio, which is traditionally celebrated in Spain. That is the reason why Spanish explorers decided to name the new area and the river after the Catholic saint. Already in 1716, it was decided to create a new civilian settlement in the area. A military garrison was also established there. Gradually, residential buildings and farms started appearing around the garrison.

The rapidly growing city faced many important events in its history, including a fierce war for the independence and a new influx of immigrants. Until now, the multinational culture remains one of the distinctive features of the modern city. It has found reflection almost everywhere: in unique architecture and cultural traditions, in cooking and contemporary lifestyle of the city’s residents. San Antonio has many interesting national symbols. Its cultural calendar has a striking number of colorful festivals and other events.
