Safe Driving In Australia
Thinking of driving in Australia?
If you are a visitor and hold a valid driver’s licence
(in English) from your own country, you are allowed
to drive throughout all of Australia. But an international
driver's licence, if you have one, does not by itself
give you the right to drive in Australia.
If your driver's licence is not in English, a translation
may be necessary and you may need to have an international
licence as well.
If you come from a country where motorists drive on
the left hand side of the road, there is not much more
to know, and you should easily adjust to driving in
Australia by following local driving customs and laws.
Below are some information on road rules and safety
through out Australia. Follow the links and we hope
that this will help your travel in Australia more enjoyable.
