Even if you dont drive a car ， you need to be aware of this rule.Every year a few international students are hit by cars because they step off the roadsides into the path of oncoming traffic.On most streets cars will be coming from your left ， not your right. Insurance Most states require you to maintain certain minimum levels of insurance on your car in case you are involved in an accident.The insurance covers your liability( 责任) for damage to other cars and injuries caused to all the people involved in the accident.We strongly recommend getting insurance that covers more than the legal minimum.You can also get collision( 碰 撞 ) insurance to cover the cost of fixing your car and theft insurance in case the car is stolen ， but this is only worthwhile for a new car or a model of recent years.If you dont have car insurance ， you wont be able to register the car. When driving in an American city ，youd better limit your speed within about . A．25 mph B ． 35 mph C
