Drive on left in Australia

Drive on left! Aber warum macht das auf dem Highway niemand? Source: SBS

Australia is a country of drivers. Not only are the distances very large, but the public transport network is not always sufficiently developed. And if you want to explore the country, the best way is by car. However, some important - and curious - traffic rules should be observed. A conversation.


The Highlights
  • Yes, it is right before left, but not always
  • Parking the wrong way is easy - and can be very expensive
  • In Queensland sometimes horses have the right of way
  • Ever wanted to drive naked? Come to Australia!
