Questions about Arizona? Moving there and have some questions?
I'm moving from Philly to Phoenix, AZ in a week, and have a few questions. They are simple things, but its proving a challenge to get straight forward answers. I want to know if there is a yearly state vehicle inspection/emissions test in AZ like there is in PA? If not, how often? Can you make right turns on Red? (I already looked at the state, MVD, AZDOT website). Driving on cell phone? Is left lane on highway passing only? What are some things/facts I should know before moving there? If you had one peice of advice what would it be? Serious answers please; I know its hot, I know there are scorpions lol.

Yes, you can make right turns on red lights except when there is a sign saying you can't.
You must have a hands free device if you talk on a cell phone while driving. No texting allowed while driving.
You must yield the left lane of the freeway to cars going faster than you. Doesn't matter if you are going the posted speed limit, if they are going faster you must move over and let them pass.
The best advice is to drive defensively at all times. The state gets several million "Snow Birds" (Old Codgers) visiting in the winter and most will be driving huge RV's and shouldn't even have a drivers license. They commit all kinds of violations that could maim or kill you.
When the Snow Birds are not in Arizona, from just across the border there are dozens of migrant workers who also don't know how to drive.
The good thing is You are only a couple of hours drive from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. Any day of the week, You can zip down to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point to us Gringos) and play in the surf and shop in the shops. Take a cooler and Bring back fresh Sea Food that is unbelievable. Green Shrimp almost the size of lobster for $14 US for 2.2 pounds.
One warning, pay close attention to the speed signs in Mexico. Mexicans speed by you without being stopped, but the Police know Americans have the money to pay speeding tickets. If you drive at the speed limit you will have no problems.

i've got moved international. The scariest replace into going to Paris on September 12, 2001. It replace right into a one 365 days out of the country scheme (French replace into part of my degree, sort of like a minor), I knew no person interior the entire usa. The practice iced up interior the tunnel out of worry of terrorist attack. by utilising the time I have been given to Paris, the adolescents hostel replace into closed, and that i did no longer locate the money for for a lodge. the 1st people I met have been drug addicts and prostitutes. Then some greater clever homeless people shooed them away and we sat there all nighttime protecting watch. whilst i ultimately arrived on the city the place my college replace into, i could now stay wakeful yet. I had to accomplish a little registration, and stay wakeful. Anti-American graffiti unsettled me slightly. That city had area on the adolescents hostel, and that i met some fairly loopy people there. i've got moved around till now, consisting of to Arizona (I went to U of A on my own, i replace into in state yet I graduated from a militia college in Europe). Arizona isn't that frightening whilst in comparison with my studies in France. the only suggestion i'm going to supply is conceal up and shop hydrated! this is extremely uncomplicated to get sunburnt in case you stroll around interior the dry warmth, and this is uncomplicated to get dehydrated too (only be certain you have scientific coverage).
