Stay to the right, switch back to the left after overtaking. Most roads are two-lane one-way, keep to the left while driving, use your right turn signal to overtake, and switch to your left turn signal to return to the lane. Remember one principle, always keep to the left, always keep to the left, always keep to the left. Give way to vehicles approaching from your right side. Most intersections in Australia are roundabouts. If there is a STOP sign on the road, you must stop for 5 seconds before proceeding, even if there is no traffic light at the intersection or roundabout.

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
