Notable aspects of driving in New Zealand:

Driving on the Left: In New Zealand, traffic is predominantly left-handed. This means that the steering wheel is located on the right side of the car, and on the road you should navigate on the left side. For those accustomed to right-hand traffic, this shift may seem unusual, requiring attention and compliance with traffic rules.

Mountain landscapes. Known for its scenic mountains and breathtaking scenery, New Zealand's roads are often rough terrain with winding turns and climbs. Consider winding routes and be careful on steep section

Significant distances. Despite its compact size, New Zealand has significant distances between some cities. Therefore, a road trip may require a longer duration. Carefully planning your route and keeping these long stretches in mind is essential.
