Oh god, he is gonna be surprised ab the time zone answer. Here is my real life example: I live near the Indiana border but I live in Illinois. As say It is 5:00 PM when I enter Indiana from Illinois, it instantly changes to 6:00 PM. So you were right. It is important to note that this only ever happens in increments of one hour if you are driving.

I remember one road trip back in the 70s where I was driving very late into the night. I turned on the radio to catch the time but they kept saying things like, "It's a quarter past the hour." Or "It's 20 minutes 'til the hour." And I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't say WHAT hour. Then I remembered I was near a time zone change and it would be a different hour, depending on where you were listening from.LOL

[@cdmp1313]

I'm in NW Indiana and went to college in SW Indiana, so driving to and from, I'd go through Eastern time. For daylight savings, I never changed my clock in my car, so when I changed time zones, I'd know if businesses would be open on the way home. I changed my clock once and thought it was 9:30p, but it was actually 10:30 and everything was closed so I couldn't grab any food. It was such a disappointment. 😂

With regard to the California sign and "Entering Pacific Time" I can pretty much guarantee that sign is on the state's border with Arizona. Three states border California, and the other two, Oregon and Nevada, are also in Pacific time like California. Arizona is in the "Mountain Time Zone" and is thus one hour ahead of Nevada and the West Coast. So 8:00 a.m. in L.A. is 9:00 a.m. in Phoenix. The confusing thing about Arizona, however is that it does not observe Daylight Savings Time (the American equivalent of British Summer Time). So when we change our clocks in the spring to DST, Arizona then is technically on the same time as Pacific Daylight Time.

That is except for that weird stretch of road that passes through the navajo and hopi reservation, then theres like an extra 4 or 5 time changes

There are four time zones in the contiguous United States: Eastern Time (UTC -5), Central Time, Mountain Time, and Pacific Time (UTC -8). When you cross into another zone, the time changes by an hour. Time zones were created in the 19th century with the advent of the railroad so people didn't have to deal with town clocks being just a few minutes off from each other. Furthermore, I can't remember the name for Alaska's time zone, but it's UTC -9. Same for Hawaii, and I think it's UTC -10 or UTC -11 since it's way the hell out there in the Pacific.

The time zones are an instant change, but they are only 1 hour apart from each other. It's not always a state line that is a time zone border. Some states like Florida and Tennessee for example sit in multiple time zones. You could be driving westward at 12:30PM, and once you cross that time zone line your time immediately changes from 12:30PM to 11:30AM.

The boundaries for time zones often coincide with state borders, with a few exceptions. The US has six time zones: Hawaii TIME (UTC - 10), Alaska Time (UTC - 9), Pacific Time (UTC - 8), Mountain Time (UTC - 7), Central Time (UTC - 6), and Eastern Time (UTC - 5). Adjust one hour nearer to UTC when on Daylight Saving Time, what Brits call Summer Time.

Did anyone else notice on Illinois' sign 13:44 that the outline of the "river" down the middle of the state is actually the profile of Lincoln? Also, South Carolina's slogan 13:58 is very similar to South Dakota's slogan 11:54 ("faces" referring to Mount Rushmore). Regarding time zones, yes it is an instantaneous switch. The border of time zones are usually rivers or county lines. So, you could have 2 cities separated by a river that are in 2 diff time zones. For example, in SD, Pierre (the state capitol) is in the Central Time Zone, while west of the Missouri River, Fort Pierre is in the Mountain Time Zone. And the difference is only an hour. So, once you cross the bridge you are either an hour ahead or an hour behind where you just came from (depending on which direction you are traveling, east vs. west). Regarding license plates, you register your vehicle in the state in which you reside. You only have to switch plates if you move to a different state.

24:40 The license plate is from the state you have your car registered in. You do not have to change your plate between states (that would be super annoying; some people commute to work over state lines). It can be kind of cool to see how far people have traveled. License plate designs also change over time, so not all of them from the same state are the same.

Hey @LavLuka ! To answer your question, (time stamp @15:29 ) the time zones don't change by state border to state border - there is a specific time zone map, which can get confusing. You can get some weird cases- like in Florida! The most most mosttt NorthWest part of FL is in Central Time, while the rest of FL is Eastern TIme. Hope I could help :)

[@you_can_call_me_T]

The continental U.S. sits within 4 different time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. (That's west to east.) When you cross westward into a new time zone, the time goes backward an hour. And the opposite happens when you go east. Usually your cell phone automatically makes the change for you.

I enjoy watching your videos because I get a big kick out of your enthusiasm at discovering and learning about the subjects that excite you, and I must admit, I discover and learn something new as well. Thank you for entertaining and teaching with your videos!

16:00. The time zone change is pretty much instant, actually! I don't live near enough to the border between two time zones to be affected, but I'd imagine you just get used to it. Also, the time difference is only 1 hour. If your watch says "7:45 PM" on it in Nevada, when you cross into California you'd switch it back to 6:45 PM.

[@ksmith9715]

Time zones are instant. Once you cross the time zone line, the time immediately changes by one hour (there are a few weird exceptions to the rule). If driving west, you set your clock back one hour; drive east, you lose an hour. When I drive, my car and phone automatically change to the correct time zone time. The contiguous 48 states have four time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. When it's noon on the east coast, it's 9:00 a.m. on the west coast. This also answers the question about when you see TV shows advertised, the commercial might say the show starts at "8:00; 7:00 Central." That means the show starts at 8 pm in the Eastern time zone, but it's 7 pm at the time the show starts if you live in the Central time zone.

We need a shirt from Luka saying, “This one is kinda different...”

[@AmyEugene]

He should have one that says "Oh my days!" and another one that says "Anyways, I'm just sort of rambling on here aren't I? Sorry for that! Anyways, let's just get to the video. Like I said, I hope you like it and I don't know, but I just thought it would be sort of interesting to see and hopefully it is, but maybe it isn't. I don't know...." That one should be formatted like the intro to Star Wars where it just sort of fades out as it goes on and on. (Don't stop rambling Luka, it's adorably British!)

It's an instant change of 1 hour. The line between Mountain & Pacific time in the U.S. is along the eastern borders of Washington, Oregon, and California.

When you enter California from Arizona, you go from Mountain time zone to Pacific time zone. Half the year, you deduct one hour

24:45 No. You do not have to change license plates driving from one state to another. Every state issues their own license plates (I've even seen Hawai'i's here on the mainland) and driver's licenses but they are valid in all 50 states.

If you go down the state license plate rabbit hole...caution some states have many possible different plates.

The old Wyomng welcome sign was even better, as he stated, but I am still proud of the new one. I love the state line crossing on my way home to Wyoming on highway 287. The Welcome to Colorado sign on the left side as you are going north and the Wyoming sign on the right, with pull offs on both sides for photos.

I live in Astoria, Oregon on the north coast. It’s Pacific Time, but when you travel west to east, the time changes forward one hour. The 48 contiguous states have 4 time zones. If you ever see a US tv ad for a tv show that says 8 \ 7 Central it’s because the show is at 8 for all time zones, except central time zone states.

15:40, Yes, and correct. I come from Michigan. It would take Myself at least 36 Hours to drive from my State to the nearest point in California non stop at at least 70 mph. 3 days, with Reality. The United States is huge, we have 4 timezones for a reason, at one end of the States the Sun sets in the night twilight, while at the other end simultaneously, dawn break is near looming.

[@Jskelly428]

15:28 This is entering California from the Arizona border side which is on Mountain Standard Time, so there is a +1 hour time difference. However, the majority of Arizona does not observe the Daylight Savings Time change which causes them to have the same time as California during for about 8 months of the year but they are still not part of our Time Zone. Also to note, because of some comment on here, Arizona is the only state to border California where the time would change. The other two states are already in the same time zone
