According to the news on the website of the Chinese Consulate General in Perth, Australia, on the 21st, the Consulate General in Perth reminded Chinese tourists in Western Australia to carefully choose "self driving tour" and "online celebrity" attractions to clock in.
The number of Chinese tourists coming to Western Australia for self driving tours and card punching tours in the "online celebrity" scenic spots is gradually increasing. In Australia, the right steering left driving is adopted for motor vehicle driving. On the contrary, if you do not understand the traffic regulations and road conditions in Western Australia and lack good driving habits, it will be difficult to ensure safe driving in Western Australia. Some tourists go to the "online celebrity" scenic spots to punch in and hunt for novelty and participate in high-risk projects, which is likely to lead to safety accidents.
Many tourist attractions in Western Australia have a long way to go. Some of them take 4-5 hours to get there by car one way. The road conditions are complex and there are many sand and gravel roads. There is no separation line in the middle of some two-way driving sections. There is no mobile phone signal and network coverage in remote areas. If you choose to travel by yourself rashly, it is very likely that serious traffic accidents will be caused due to improper handling of emergencies during driving.
In view of this, the Chinese Consulate General in Perth solemnly reminds Chinese tourists:
1、 Before driving, you should fully understand the traffic laws and regulations of Western Australia, especially pay attention to the differences between the traffic signs, driving rules and domestic ones, and complete the procedures of "self driving tour" as required.
2、 Check the local road conditions, weather and supply point information in advance to avoid driving without license, illegal driving, fatigue driving and dangerous driving. Drivers and front and rear passengers must wear seat belts, otherwise they will be fined.
3、 Pay attention to the speed limit signs, especially near the school. Overspeed will be severely punished. Drunken and unlicensed driving may be suspected of criminal offences. Deal with traffic fines in a timely manner, and pay at designated places such as banks with the ticket.
4、 Avoid pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians have absolute right of way on the pedestrian passageway and must stop to let pedestrians pass first. When driving on a road with a speed limit of no more than 60km/h and passing the cyclists, keep a distance of at least 1m; The road with a speed limit of more than 60km/h shall be kept at least 1.5m away.
5、 When driving in the countryside, pay attention to avoiding animals (such as kangaroos) and overlong vehicles that suddenly appear.
6、 Strictly follow the parking regulations. Pay attention to the parking and payment signs, park at the permitted time and place, pay consciously, and place the payment voucher in the front windshield of the vehicle. Do not park the vehicle in the disabled parking space or the reserved parking space for units or individuals.
7、 Tourists who go to "online celebrity" attractions to punch in need to strengthen self-protection, purchase undeveloped areas for travel through formal channels or participate in high-risk projects. Do not engage in behaviors that may endanger the safety of oneself and others.
8、 Do not go to remote areas in bad weather; Do not travel to remote mountains and Gobi (including national parks) without professional training, safety measures or professional staff.
