Thank u sooooo much for this video. This is the first time I drive in Australia, not really familiar with the driving rules here. But your video do helped a lot! Thanks!
Thanks for your time, your video has been very helpful in understanding the road rules and plan. I'm teaching my 16 year old daughter to drive and also teaching a friend.
Very good video. Easy to follow and understand. Alot better than any video by VicRds. Only problem is people ignore all these rules. If I had a dollar for every vehicle I see that ignores stop signs I would be rich.
11:00 - yes , an example of an intersection in Australia where there are 4 stop signs is in Artarmon, Sydney. Where Clarendon St intersects Dickson Ave.
Thanks for the video. There is a 4 way stop sign in Ipswich, I will be doing my P's test in the coming months in Ipswich. Supposedly it's one of the only ones in Queensland itself.
Thanks for helping me understand. I literally got stuck with the part where you are at a cross road an the car on the opposite end wants to turn right an i also want turn right. Ive now learned if the road is narrow some1 has to be the nice 1 to let them pass. And if its a bigger space you can both pass without cliding.
King St, Lockyer St, Adamstown (4 way stop). There are a few uncontrolled intersections in built-up areas in the countryside but the councils made a point of putting give way or stop signs on where it intersected with a main road back in the 70s.
I grew up in a place that had no marked intersections and the rule that applied was give way to your right. a lot of aussie roads are unsealed and you need to know the two main rules, give way to pedestrians and cars on your right when driving in country Australia.
Great vid but I think you missed a critical rule that catches people out all the time. When turning left from a slip lane you must give way to everyone including an opposite direction vehicle turning right.
another four way stop at Clarendon St and Dickson Ave, Artarmon. But no-one knows what to do! They shouldn't have these unless it's clearer in the road rules.
Okay correct me if I'm wrong but when approaching a give way line or a stop sign, you have to give way to both pedestrians, cyclists and mobility device riders crossing the road you are exiting, and pedestrians crossing the road you are entering. I think you have said things in a way in this video where that could be true, but the graphics only show one of these for the situation where you have to give way to two "crossings" easy rule is, you always give way to pedestrians etc crossing the road you are entering, (unless you are continuing straight on the main road) and you always give way to pedestrians crossing the road you are exiting when at a give way or stop line (in addition to the road you are entering). These rules also apply at T-intersections At 20:45 you said the dotted line is not a give way line. This is correct in that you don't have to give way to cars, but you do have to give way to pedestrians and cyclists etc - I imagine you know this but I think this rule is part of the reason they do it.
Some additional give way rules based on experience; 1) Trucks apparently do not have to give way when they are supposed to. The more beat up and old looking the truck, the more likely this will be. 2) Tradesman's Utes apparently do not have to give way when they are supposed to. The more beat up and old looking the Ute, the more likely this will be. 3) White vans with plumbing pipes on one side of the roof are apparently free to disobey any road rule they please at any time. 4) Cyclists wearing skin suits are apparently free to disobey any road rule they please at any time. 5) All of the above are apparently required by law to hurl abuse at you, when they do the wrong thing. Be aware of these important rules to be a safer driver.
Thanks for a very informative video. However, I noted that you continually mention "giving way" at a STOP sign. In fact you have to come to a complete stop, then give way as necessary. This is an important difference to a GIVE WAY sign where a complete stop may not always be required.
You're welcome. Yes, the stop sign rules have been explained in this video. I recommend you watch the video to the end. Also, this video explains the stop sign rules to the fullest: ua-cam.com/video/wQgnXOfCxmI/v-deo.htmlsi=8E11v7x8BcoMz99o
@@drivingtestaustraliaif im at a t intersection and have a give way sign, I’m turning right, on my left is a red light on my right a car is turning into left very slowly and 2 cars are behind standing a fourth car comes from behind those 3 cars into my lane as I have turned and hits me head on who is at fault.
I just want to ask something and know if there is a car parked on the left and you pass, do you have to indicate right and when you pass the car indicate left again and return to your lane?
In the old days we had give to the right at all intersections It proved impractical once cars doing 80 to 100 km per hour came common So quietly and without any government announcement we changed to major and minor roads with giveaway signs Canberra was the first state to introduce major and minor roads. The next job is to get drivers to use roundabouts by keeping in their correct lanes. We are managing up to now by merging two lanes into one at roundabouts.As traffic is getting heavier this will change .The next job is get heavy trucks keeping in slow lane instead of three semis side by side seeing whivj 1is 5 km faster Ah the joys of driving
One rule I need to get clear about for which I failed once. When turning right at uncontrolled traffic what give way rules applied? Whether we need to wait until 2 sides no incoming vehicle or in emergency if we enter and can wait in middle of intersection to give away left vehicle after crossing right one?
Great video. For the driving commentary at the end of the video, are you checking your rear view mirror every time you slow down to turn? Are you also required to check side mirrors before turning onto another road? Thank you!!
@@drivingtestaustralia thank you - a bit irrelevant to the video sorry! My test is in a few weeks, and your videos have already been super helpful as a refresher
I noticed that you seldom made any shoulder check while driving in these roads. Does that mean you were always on a one lane per side road so no need head check when you turned left or right?
That's right. Shoulder checks are only for wide roads when you move over to the left or right to turn and there might be another road user in your blind spot that you might run into. On narrow roads, you don't need to do shoulder check for turns
So your "Give Way" sign is mostly the same as our "Yield" sign? Also driving on the left looks so weird. I never even thought you would have your signs on the opposite sides of the road as well.
Hey mate just passed my test to get my permit and I got a dumb question. In driving, I understand that 'giving way' rules are crucial at intersections, as highlighted in a video I watched. However, I'm curious about other scenarios where these rules apply. Could you list ALL different situations or locations, apart from intersections, where 'giving way' rules are important for drivers? For instance, in phrases like 'Giving way rules at ...', could you give me a list of all the other words that could complete this sentence?
@@drivingtestaustralia Thanks mate. Arguably the one thing im most scared about before going out on the road is the giving way rules. That makes up most of the driving theory bulk right? Apart from knowing how to drive an actual car

It depends where the pedestrian have been at that situation and which direction you have been travelling. Cannot really comment as the scenario is not very clear
@@Olly328 i really shouldve. after my second attempt with no faults even though i drove exactly the same i find it hard to believe that tester was fair

I know what about people not giving away and pulling out on you, a lot of people speeding and tail gating
Thank you my friend. It is important for me to know how to drive in AUS because I wasn't born there
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful 🙂

Yep the town of Ayr has a number of give way to the right intersections in it.

Thank you. This video is only about intersections in residential areas. Slip lane is a different topic. Video of that coming soon
Excluding anyone performing a u-turn. They must give way to everyone.
Only in Victoria
Very Helpful sir, thank you and take care
This video is great and just what I needed, thank you!!
You're welcome. Glad to hear that 🙂
Certainly one of the nice easy neighbourhoods. The roads why I live can be like a war torn country plus so many hills and bad blind spots.
Thanks for this.
Very helpful interactive instructions. Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Amazing video 🤠📸. Your videos are very helpful and informative. Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊. Glad to hear that.
You need to be alert as well even if you follow rules but the other drivers are not
Very helpful, thank you so much!

wonderful lesson. thank you
For the 4 Stop signs intersection, there is one at ipswich test centre area , Delacy St and Smith St 😁
Ah thank you. I'll check that out 🙂
@@drivingtestaustralia Ipswich area must like them, there's another one at Hayes St and Bourke St in Brassall.

Yes,'give way' is the same as 'yield'. There are quite a few countries that drive on the left side
