Tips for driving in New Zealand

:    New Zealand road rules and driving behaviour may be different to those in your home country.

      For example:  we ALWAYS DRIVE on the LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. 

 :    we have many hilly, narrow and winding roads which could result in your journey taking longer than you

      expect.

 :    you must carry your driver licence on you at all times.  If your licence is not in English, you must carry an  

      English translation from an approved translator.
