I'd like a definitive answer: can one drive in Australia on a British driver's licence?
Answers:
Driving in Australia
Bona fide tourists with a valid UK driver's licence for the same class of vehicle can drive in Australia. You should carry your licence with you at all times when driving. In some states you can drive indefinitely while on tourist/visitor visa status, others have a time limit so you should check with the local road transport authority.
An International Driver's Permit is not a legal requirement for driving in Australia but if you want to hire a rental car some rental companies may ask for an International Driver's Permit.
If you have been granted Permanent Residency for Australia normally you would be able to drive for three months only on your overseas licence. Regulations vary from state to state, you should contact the local road transport authority on arrival for details on obtaining a local licence.
my dad who lives in australia says you can
I've driven in that state on both Canadian and American drivers licenses. I have also driven with someone who has a British license when they rented a car so can tell you absolutely yes.
Hi, Not sure now, but when I was over there in the 60's it was allowed, but they have some weird rules over there so SWAT up first, & get in touch with the Aussie embassy in london they will be able to tell you for certain
no u cant, get an international driving licence from where u live then u can drive wherever u want
why not ask the Australian embassy. My suggestion is to get an International License endorsement. I had one twenty years ago, and the Embassy provided the location to take the test.
no.
phone the Austrian embassy they will have to answer to that question
