12 SAFETY TIPS FOR DRIVING IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND Driving in Australia and New Zealand is an awesome experience and campervans are really easy to manoeuvre. To help you relax and enjoy the drive, here are some basic road rules to follow. 1 Keep LEFT! Both Australia and New Zealand drive on the left-hand side of the road. 2 Everyone in the vehicle must wear a seat belt when the vehicle is moving. 3 Always carry a copy of your driver license in English. If using an international permit, you must also carry your original driver license. 4 Keep to the speed limit and always stop at STOP signs. 5 Alcohol and driving don’t mix. If you drink, don’t drive! 6 Fatigue causes many crashes, therefore stay well-rested. When driving long distances, stop and rest every 2 hours. 7 When reversing it may be helpful to have someone stand near the rear to guide you. 8 Remember to give yourself lots of space when turning corners. 9 Familiarise yourself where the lights, wipers and other controls are before you set off. 10 Secure all cupboards and belongings before setting off. 11 Remember that campervans can be double the height and length of sedan vehicles. Keep an eye out for height indicator signs, cantilever awnings, overhanging tree branches and be careful when reversing near fixed objects. 12 In the unlikely event that you are involved in an accident in a remote area, follow these simple tips: • Do not leave your vehicle • Stay in the shade • Conserve water CAMPERVAN ROAD TRIPS | Chan Brothers Travel 25
