Default NEW Updated Australian Road Rules For You!

THE link below is for the *newly* updated Australian Road Rules, incorporating Amendments to May 2007. It is in Pdf and is 3.09mb in size.

THE *many* changes will be incorporated into your state or territories existing 'driver handbook' over the next few weeks/months. You can download these in turn from your jurisdictions transport website, in exciting Pdf.

http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/ARRMay20071.pdf

NOTE a particular item:
RULE 217 now makes it an NATIONAL OFFENCE to have switched on your front fog lamps in clear weather conditions.

PREVIOUSLY, this prohibition was restricted to WA and NSW only. The modification to ARR 217 brings Australia in-line with practice held in the "United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, Signs & Signals".

WITH time, I'd expect a minor change to this Rule to reflect an additional UN Convention allowance, that of permitting the use of front fog lamps at night in clear weather, on 'twisty, mountainous roads'.

MANY other changes inside these new ARR's folks, read, learn and understand them, enjoy!
