There are tens of millions of roads, the first is safety. The local roads in Victoria are winding and undulating, and some sections of road conditions are not good. Driving habits, traffic rules and domestic differences are quite different. It is the right rudder driving on the left, and traffic safety risks cannot be ignored.

Abide by traffic rules, be careful to avoid passing vehicles, and do not drive in drunkenness or use mobile phones while driving.
