Re: Advice for an Aussie in Hawaii

2) Whats this about a right turn on a red?
We will always turn left (your right equivalent) when free to do so and always has right of way, except for pedestrians with a green walk signal.
When turning across oncoming traffic, we can cross on an amber light but never a red.

4) My pet hate is people not knowing where their going and slowing everyone else up. I'll turn off to a side street and work it out rather than slow people down. I also won't just change lanes only to hit the brakes and turn. I will take the next available turn and then back track so I don't cause anyone else issues from my mistakes.

7) I don't drink beer, but rumour has it that Aussie beer is stronger. I drink cider which is more potent again. So what is a brand of cider in the states?

8) This is one we get warned about.
We call "Sprite" lemonade. (Well actually Sprite is a registered name for Coca-Cola Company). We have different brands of lemonade, all similar to Sprite. American "lemonade" is traditional lemonade and we only have a few brands that make it and no-one really sells it other than supermarkets.
