Nervous about Driving in New Zealand?

February 19, 2016 by Rosemary Neave 1 Comment

Safe driving in New ZealandIn New Zealand we drive on the left hand side of the road – like the UK, India, South Africa and a few more – see them here 

If you are not used to driving on the left – here are some resources to help

  • Take a Driver QUIZ:  Detailed tourist/visitor driving quiz in English, Spanish, Chinese, German and French Here  This is a great little interactive quiz – giving you feedback and answers, and an explanation.
  • NZ Driving Rules: NZTA brochure covering basic rules in 10 languages  Here
  • General information about driving in New Zealand Here

Need a GPS?

Used to driving on the left, hiring a car from Las Vegas to Los Angeles International Airport was a challenge.  Getting a GPS saved us – helped us get on the right highway and when into the huge motorways of LA, helped us to get in the correct lane.  A GPS or a smart phone with enough data is a MUST.
