How does highway driving differ from city driving?

My parents never let me drive on the highway when I was a teenager. But now that I’m out on my own, I want to take the highway to get to destinations more quickly. What ways does highway driving differ from city driving?

Parents are the worst (or the best). It just takes time to realize that they don’t want you to
get into an accident
that can injure you or your passengers! Highway driving differs from city driving because speeds are faster and there are fewer obstacles, but there are construction zones.
You always have to be alert when you’re behind the wheel, but highway driving may require a bit more of your mind. That’s mainly because of the rate of speed. Always err on the side of caution, stay within the speed limit, and you should be fine.
Being out on your own comes with certain responsibilities. One of those is getting a car insurance policy for yourself. If you’ve never bought car insurance before or you’re not sure where to start, use the
