road rules in australia

Ah, the road rules in Australia—where kangaroos aren’t the only things you need to watch out for. Generally, Australians drive on the left side of the road, obey speed limits posted in kilometres per hour, and must wear seat belts at all times. Drink-driving limits are strict, with a blood alcohol concentration cap of 0.05% for most drivers, and zero tolerance for learner and provisional licence holders.

Roundabouts are common, and remember: give way to vehicles already on the roundabout. Mobile phone use while driving is banned unless you have hands-free technology, so no texting while you’re trying to look cool behind the wheel. For detailed and state-specific rules, checking the official road authority websites or resources like ServiceCentral will keep you out of trouble.
