How long should I wait before driving on new asphalt?

I just had my driveway resurfaced, and the guys who did it left before I could ask, but how long should I wait before I drive on the new asphalt?

We hope you enjoy your new driveway!
Normally, you need to allow new asphalt to cure for at least 24 hours before driving on it. In very warm weather, though, you should give it a full 48 hours to cool and cure.
Once your asphalt is set, you need to make sure the car you drive onto it is protected with
car insurance
as solid as your new driveway. If you want cheap car insurance quotes fast, go to
