Before you’re on the road in your new Tennessee rental car, there are a few things you need to know. First, don’t use your cellphone while driving unless you’re using a hands-free kit. Always yield to emergency vehicles with their lights flashing, including fire trucks, ambulances, and police vehicles. The Tennessee region has a growing number of bike lanes, and drivers should stay off the bike lanes. If driving in a fog, reduce your speed and turn on the low beam headlights. Most roads also have a fog line on the right that you can follow very carefully. Maintain a safe distance between your car and the one ahead.
