24、Driving in a foreign country is always different in at least some ways from driving in your own country.Here are some general points regarding driving in New Zealand.

●Visitors wishing to drive in New Zealand do not require an international driver’s license but are required to carry their local driver’s license whenever driving.

●Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in Britain, Australia, and Japan.Most rental vehicles will have a sticker reminding you of this important fact.

●When the traffic light is red, you must stop.There is no left turn rule as in North America.

●New Zealand road rules follow international standards but please note that in New Zealand vehicles turning left must give way to traffic turning right.

●In general, if you are turning left (where there are give-way signs or no signs), give way to vehicles that not turning.In all other situations, give way to vehicles crossing or coming from your right.

●Seat belts must be worn at all times while driving in New Zealand.This stands for the driver and passengers.The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers are wearing their seatbelts.

●Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealanddrinking and driving laws are strictly enforced.

●Speed limits are in kilometres per hour (kph), not miles per hour (mph).

Speed conversion: 1 kph equals 0.621 mph; 1 mph equals 1.61 kph.

●The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h.In towns and cities the speed limit is 50km/h.Be sure to obey all school crossing speed reductions as speed cameras operate regularly throughout New Zealand.
