Australia vs India: Driving Rules Compared

Both Australia and India drive on the left, so the wheel position and traffic flow feel familiar the moment you cross into either country. What actually catches visitors out is the size of the fines: Australia’s speeding penalties for driving 30 km/h or more over the limit reach AUD 2,500, while India’s equivalent tops out near INR 4,000. Alcohol limits split them too, 0.05 in Australia against 0.03 in India.
