Most of the world drives on the right, but Australia (along with the UK and Japan) sticks to the left—because tradition, horses, and stubbornness.
Left-hand traffic means you sit on the right side of the car and overtake on the right; right-hand traffic flips it: steering wheel on the left, overtake on the left.
Road rules, roundabouts, signage, and headlight aim are mirrored, so cars and habits aren’t plug-and-play across sides.
If you’re switching, give your brain a few drives to stop grabbing the door handle instead of the shifter.
Same roads, different dance—follow the arrows and you won’t tread on anyone’s toes.
