Road rules
Hi I find your site very helpfull for planing my big ride, thankyou for doing it.
I was wondering if there is anywhere (I haven't found it yet) that has road rule veriants for different countries.
Yes i understand this is a hard one for people to add info to because, if you are like me, you haven't actually check the road rules for countries your going to or you're old enough to have forgotten what the rules where 20 years ago when you got your licences (they will have changed since then too).
As with most driving the Golden rule is
NEVER TRUST ANYTHING, EVER.
This rule has keep me alive even after 5yrs of being a motorbike courier in London.
The sort of road rules I'm talking about are, for example in Australia (where i stay ish). If you are turning left from a standard road and someone is turning into the same road (right hand turn) from the opersite direction you do not have to give way to them. But in New Zealand (where i'm from) you do it's a simple move but that sort of change in road rules can course an accident.
I also understand from my trip around western europe a while ago that driving on the other side of the road can be confusing. And changing from countries that are miles per hour to kilometers per hour has had me pulled before too.
You have traveled more than me so I thought I would ask you all what you think. Obviously most road rules are the same but the small differences can cost you health and/or money.
Enjoy your ride
