Manoeuvre guide

Unlaned Roads

Keep to the left

Taught in Adelaide since 2007 · Updated

With no lane markings, keep as close to the left as is practical, without hugging the gutter.

Drive as near to the far left of the road as you safely can.

  • Turning left: start from as near to the left as practical.
  • Turning right: move close to and parallel with the centre of the road, and pass just to the right of the centre of the intersection.
  • Overtaking: if it is safe, you may pass a non-signalling car in front on its right.
  • Speeds, unless signed: 50 in built-up areas, 100 outside. Slow right down for gravel or rough surfaces.

This guide is a practice and teaching aid. It does not replace the official road rules and it does not guarantee the result of your driving test. The authoritative source for licence rules in South Australia is mylicence.sa.gov.au.

Learn this one in the car.

Reading it helps. Doing it with someone watching, in a car with a second brake, is what makes it stick.

International licence conversion

You can already drive. What you need is the South Australian road rules, the habit of driving on the left, and an honest account of which of your existing habits will cost you marks.
