How to drive in Australia?

Australia is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population, and it is also a country on wheels. Without a car and driving, it can be said that it is difficult to move and life is extremely inconvenient.

But driving in Australia is not an easy task, especially for friends who have certain driving experience in China. After all, once it is illegal, that ticket is worth hundreds of Australian dollars per minute.

Driving in the right seat is not easy.

Many people will think that right-hand driving and left-hand driving are just familiar problems, and they will be able to handle them well. However, many accidents happened here.

Among them, the most serious is the sense of direction in "turning". Many people who are not used to driving on the right will easily turn into the opposite lane, causing serious car accidents.

Observe the speed limit

In Australia, there are many car accidents caused by speeding, especially in the suburbs. Everyone wants to be an autumn mountain biker.

However, the Australian traffic police are very strict in speeding, and they are accidentally fined several hundred Australian dollars. In downtown Australia, the speed limit is generally 50 km to 60 km, and the school section is 40 km. Freeways and suburbs without speed limit signs are generally100km to110km.

If you park your car incorrectly, you will be towed away.

When parking in Australia, you must be familiar with the parking signs in Australia. In the street, anyone who says no parking, disabled parking, bus parking and loading area can't stop!

Last week, a friend just parked the disabled parking space, and the car was towed away directly after the fine. In addition, if the parking time in the pay area is overtime, it will also be fined. So when you stop, be sure to see if there is any time limit or special mark. If you are not careful, it is a heavy ticket.

Hook turn

"Hooking up" is a characteristic of Melbourne, which often makes China people feel at a loss. If you encounter a "hook turn" and you just want to turn right, you need to turn right in the following ways: follow the instructions of the green light, drive left and stop at the left side of the intersection, which is the "waiting area". If there is no box to turn over on the road, you have to fantasize about it yourself. If there are already a lot of cars waiting in line ahead, then line up with them. If no one is waiting in line and you happen to be parked in the middle of the road alone, don't panic, you are right!

In addition, when turning, make sure that no one in the car behind grabs the red light, because Melbourne often collides with the car that wants to turn right in the waiting area because of grabbing the red light.

Ringing is easy to cause an accident.

In Australia, especially in the suburbs, there are many large and small rings on the road. Even the locals often have car accidents here. There are one-way streets and two-way streets in Australian circles, so you can't change lanes at will. Be sure to remember that cars that don't enter the ring should give way to cars that are already in the ring. The cars on the left should give way to the cars on the right first, and the lights should be lit in advance when they leave the ring.

Never stop at the corner.

In China, when there is no place to park, the driver will park at the corner, and the highest amount of money caught is 200 yuan. However, in Australia, if you park at the corner, your car may be scrapped at any time except for a fine. I saw a real example in the post bar before. A couple went to the town to attend the carnival, but there were too many cars along the way to find a parking space, so they thought of stopping at the corner and were fined at most.

However, just after stopping, a big truck was turning. After the front of the truck passed, the wood at the rear hit the couple's car. Fortunately, the couple were not injured, otherwise it would be another disaster.

Don't hide when you meet wild animals

It sounds inhuman, but you won't slow down where there are wild animals. When driving at high speed in the suburbs, if a kangaroo suddenly jumps out, don't hit the steering wheel to avoid it, because you are sure to overturn. And it doesn't rule out that kangaroos will attack you after the rollover.

So, in this case, try to slow down. If it doesn't work, you can only call directly. You would rather have your car destroyed than die.
