If you have good habits of driving in China, there will be no problem at all. Just pay attention to the fact that if you rent a small SUV, you will feel that the body is very light when you intersect large trucks at full speed. Keep the direction and do not dawdle, because there are many animals on the road, especially crows, broken glass and animal collisions are not compensated by insurance. There are regulations.

Hi everyone who has been to Perth for a Road trip, may I ask, when going from the city to the Bateman's Bay Wharf, are you usually going south on Highway 2? Can you go south on Highway 1 right after leaving the city? It feels like you drive along the coast for a while, which should be more beautiful, right? Is there traffic jam or toll ? Australia Q&A

Driving in Australia is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are driving a manual car, you will need to be comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. You should also be aware that the speed limits in Australia are generally higher than in many other countries. For example, the speed limit on most highways is 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph). It is important to always wear your seatbelt and to follow the rules of the road. This includes obeying traffic lights, stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians and cyclists where necessary. In addition, it is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving in Australia. This includes making calls, sending texts, and using social media. If you are planning on driving in rural areas, be aware that there may be fewer services available, such as petrol stations and restaurants. It is also important to be aware of the potential for wildlife on the roads, particularly in national parks and reserves. Finally, make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your vehicle before you drive in Australia. This will protect you in case of an accident or other unforeseen event ? Australia Q&A
