So I (23m) was riding my bike home from work today when a car going the same direction as me on the left turned right in front of me without a turn signal and I collided with his card basically did a front flip over his car and hit my head, my arms and road rash. I’m just wondering, who is at fault because he didn’t use a turn signal and hit me. But he’s trying to say it’s my fault.

Driving from Minnesota to Vegas 5/22-5/26 with stops for sights on the way. Who wants to come with!? I’ll be staying in Vegas for about two months once I get there.

Hello! 😄

I'm working on an itinerary for a long roadtrip from northeast WY to MD (a cross-3/4th country trip) in mid-June. Currently, I'm looking to go through the states in this order: WY > SD > MN > WI >IL > IN > OH > PA/WV > VA/MD. I'm thinking about getting the National Park pass so that I can go to many of the attractions along this trip. Other interests include breweries and good eats!

Below is a list of places I've found either through Google Maps or on this subreddit. I'd appreciate any advice for sights to see (or not see) through any of the states! Of course, I won't be able to hit all of these (I'm thinking maybe 1-2 weeks on the road?) but I like having a prepared list just in case! I've never had to plan such a large/eventful trip before so I'd love for any feedback!

I am deciding between the two routes: north and south. I have a teardrop camper. Which route is better?

Hi all! My boyfriend and I are currently on a month long cross country trip. We are returning from Hawaii in San Diego May 25th.

Looking for off the beaten path/ quieter/ camping/ wildlife/ day hikes during Memorial Day weekend as we make our way to southern Idaho. Restaurant recs too (nothing fancy).

Open to a quick stop in southern California for wine tasting if possible. We are from rural Vermont and headed back. Thanks!

Context: I just finished college and I have also been dealing with some difficulties in life recently. I love backpacking and fly fishing and I really just need to take a road trip and explore to clear my mind and enjoy the time I have right now. I would probably be going late May or mid June.

I’d be starting in North Carolina but I want to find a place to go to out west. I have been looking at driving out to the Trinity Alps Wilderness in NorCal. Realistically I don’t want to spend more than $1200-1500 for 10-14 days including driving.

Could you all give me some advice on other places that are great for backpacking and trout fishing and/or fun routes?

Me and a girl friend will be traveling from Denver this Monday all the way to Tampa. We enjoy absolute adventure! We’re planning to stop by Nashville, Charleston, Orlando on the way. We’re open to other spots. Specifically around Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Carolinas, Georgia.

We like nice nature, scenic places, nice tourist spots, places to dance as well! We’ve never been to any place other than Colorado and Florida. We’re looking for recommendations… awesome places to stop by or your favorite places…

Thank you :)

Hey there!

I’m helping relocate my partner from the Pittsburgh area down to SW Florida - looking for suggestions on good places to stop to stretch our legs and good stopping points with safe clean hotels because ya girl ain’t sleeping in the car haha

Bonus points for yummy food stops too! Most likely going to avoid going through the DC area and try to drive about 8 hours a day

Hi! I’m going to be traveling from Los Angeles, California to Orlando,Florida in the car and I’m definitely going to have to make stops overnight on the way there, would anybody have any suggestions of where I can stay? That would be free or budget friendly and safe? Thank you in advance!:)

I am looking for suggestions of a scenic/fun back roads road trip to take. I live in central Florida and am just looking to get away by myself. Willing to go as far as 15 hours for the hell of it. No destination required. Preferably besides the obvious Tale of the Dragon. I drive a Kia Stinger (3.3), so while not too crazy I do like to have fun with it as well. Any ideas?

I have to drive from Virginia to Indiana and back. Any ideas for good places to break up the drive? Foodie destinations, natural spaces and wacky museum suggestions all welcome! TIA

We are planning an 11-day RV trip in June with a 9-month-old baby. Where should we stop along the way? We want to hit Yellowstone and GTNP for sure. What other cool hiking/nature/monuments on the way should we check out? We were thinking of possibly a northern route to Badlands NP and other stuff in that area, just starting to research. Where should we stop in the early parts of the trip? Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Hello everyone! In about a month, I will be embarking on my first solo roadtrip from Kansas to the Northwest corner of Arizona, and I'm looking for advice. I've never driven over 200 miles by myself before, and looking at the maps, it will be almost exactly 1000 miles just to get there from my home. I'm heading down south to help with a summer camp being run by some friends, and I'm too young to drive a rental vehicle, so my only option to get there is to drive.

I am a non-binary afab person, so the thought of driving alone through conservative states is making me worried. Is that a valid fear? Is it healthy/safe to drive 8 hours straight? Are there any cost-saving tips y'all have for such long trips across country? Anything you can share with me will be greatly appreciated!

Posting this for my wife, she's flying out to drive one of our adult children back home with a car full of belongings and a dog. Going from mid-Maryland to southern Arizona. Couple of routes that all appear to be within 20- miles of each other. If you need to drive quickly and both are nervous drivers in thick traffic, what's the best option to get them across the country safely? I've made that drive a few times, but it was back in the late 90's. Seem to remember that I-40 across the country made the most sense.

I am planning a 4-5 day round roadtrip starting just outside philly. Me and my partner want to go on our first roadtrip (on a budget) before college and we are hoping to see scenic views, cute towns/cities, and potentially some water features. I am open to any advice or suggestions on routes. Thanks!!

Obviously there’s miles of stuff to do.

Looking to venture north west from SWFL. Probably stop near Chattanooga, somewhere in the blue ridge mountains (Asheville) then back towards the east coast.

Any stand out suggestions?

Plan to spend 2 weeks traveling time.
Car/tent camping.
Would love to do some swimming/cliff jumping. Will be last week may/first week June.

Thanks for the suggestions

Okay so I need help deciding which vehicle to rent to drive 1400 miles from Oklahoma to Colorado since my family has been super unhelpful. My options are a 2016 Suburban or a 2023 pallisade. We plan on going to Pikes Peak and will be transporting 6 adults (average height of like 5'6") and 1 child seat but the car will only have that many people for around 5 hours total. The suburban will end up costing like 200-250 more than the pallisade. I like the tech in the pallisade but am I going to need the suburban? Any thoughts are appreciated =)

right now by plan is Buffalo -> Adirondacks -> Portland, ME -> Bar Harbor/Acadia -> Cape Breton Highlands -> Baxter State Park -> White Mountains, NH -> Burlington, VT -> Buffalo

Does this seem like a doable plan? And is there anything else I should see on the way? Thanks!

I'd love to drive from Seattle to SF and potentially to Las Vegas with a car rental. I can mix up driving and flying between them or just drive whatever I end up doing I have to drive between at least two of the cities.

Seattle -> SF - On Drive

I'd like to visit Redwood national park and I was wondering what's the best point to have a break so that I have enough time at the parks and proceed to SF. Portland and Eugene on the way, are either worth making a stop at, or should I just proceed to a smaller town near Redwood? What else can I see and appreciate on this route?

SF

If I fly into SF, then I'd explore the place for a day and get a Rental and start heading out to Vegas. I was thinking I'd check out a few parks on my way. Would love to hike Yosemite and drive through Death Valley on my way to Vegas. What else would you guys recommend on that route?

If I'm to fly out of SF, then I'd like to get a rental drive to Yosemite and potentially other parks (would still hike Yosemite). To get more out of the California parks is it better to explore them from SF or there's a better suited city/town near SF?

Vegas
I'd like to be in Vegas and environs for the last 3 days of my visit. My targets here other than the city itself are the hoover dam and the Grand Canyon, I was thinking a day trip for these two will suffice.

I have seen that Mojave and Death Valley National parks are nearby if I didn't hit either while coming to Vegas then I can consider driving to them.

General

Not American and I haven't driven in the US before. Will my non-American DL work in Washington, California, Oregon and Nevada? Do any of those states require an international document instead?

As new driver new driver in the US what gotchas should I watch out for? Of the top of my head, I can think of driving on a different side of the road (used to left) and lack of round abouts. Should I be worried of road rages? Or the police as a person of color? Anything else.

Cost wise both financially and/or time wise would I be better off converting one of the following into a flight as opposed to driving? (Seattle -> SF, SF -> Vegas)? It doesn't have to be SF specifically it can be any other city near SF that would allow me to hit some SF and some national parks (Yosemite is my current priority).

TLDR: I'm planning to travel from Seattle to San Francisco to Las Vegas in 8 days. How doable is this for a road trip and should/can I split it to include a flight.

Geeetings fellow riders,

In a few days I plan to ride from Turkiye towards Greece and thereafter Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy etc. You see the point.

Many rumors say that this kind of trip is just too dangerous to overcome alone and I should be concerned about many safety related things on the way such as petty crimes, motorcycle theft, corrupt police etc.

Does anyone around here have any suggestions on what to pay attention to and how to avoid such acts while riding in those countries?

I hope I’ll decide weather or not to continue the trip with your precious help.

Much love!

So if the title didn't give it away I'm very new to taking kong road trips and I was wondering: what can I do to make the experience the least grueling as possible? It's 16 hrs and I want to know how I can do this in a way that will be the least physically uncomfortable and will keep me the most focused and mentally energized the whole way there?
