Familiarize Yourself with Local Traffic Rules
Novice to Left-Hand Driving
During my first self-driving trip in New Zealand, I was not familiar with the country’s left-hand driving rules, which often left me feeling confused and nervous behind the wheel. After spending some time studying New Zealand’s traffic rules and practicing left-hand driving, I gradually became more comfortable with the experience. Therefore, understanding local traffic rules is key to self-driving.
Plan Self-Driving Routes
Lost on New Zealand’s Highways
During one self-driving trip, my friends and I did not plan our route in advance, which led to us getting lost on New Zealand’s highways. We had to spend a lot of time finding the correct route, and since then, I have made it a priority to carefully plan self-driving routes before departure to ensure a smooth journey.
Use Navigation Devices
Navigation Devices Saved Us
During a self-driving trip in New Zealand, we were able to easily find our destination using a navigation device. In fact, navigation devices are an essential tool for self-driving journeys, as they can help us find the correct direction on unfamiliar roads.
I believe that by understanding local traffic rules and driving routes in New Zealand, you can ensure a smooth self-driving journey, making your trip more enjoyable and stress-free.
