Driving is not only an art but is also an essential skill that everyone should be proficient at. Though driving in Australia is quite easy and straightforward, there are some critical driving rules and regulations that you should follow to drive legally.
Using Mobiles:
Driving and using mobile phones and smart watches in parallel is not only safe but can lead to accidents and injuries, so keep them away while you drive.
Have Your Driving License:
Whenever you drive, make sure that you have your driving license with you. Whenever you are stopped by a police officer and asked to show your driving license, you should be able to exhibit them.
Don’t Drink & Drive:
As you drive along the road, you may be stopped randomly and subjected to breath testing. If the test result shows the value above 0.05, then you are driving illegally and penalties will be laid on you.
Speed Limits:
The speed limits vary from one place to another, so you should always keep an eye on the speed limit signage present on the either side of the road. If you drive above the approved speed limit, you will have to face the consequences such as penalties, cancellation of license, etc.
Drive On The Left:
You should drive your vehicle on the left side of the road in Australia, unless you are overtaking. No matter which country you are from, with a little bit of practice, you can get used to this left-side driving.
Wear Seatbelts:
Everyone in a car, including the passengers, should wear seatbelts. There is no exception for this rule. If you fail to follow this rule, you will be penalised.
