Hi Leon,
Many thanks for your comment. Sounds like your experience is very similar to mine when driving in a new country. I agree that driving slowly for a while is the best thing to do, until you get used to it. Anyway, welcome to Australia. I am sure you will soon be driving as confidently as every other Aussie out there on the road.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks a lot, Rob

As a new migrant from the country where driving on the right-hand side of the road, I have the same feelings, just like you first drive in Germany.

Before I first drove by myself in Australia, I had imagined many situations on the differences between left and right driving. However, you would not face real pressure until driving on the road in Australia.

At every roundabout, I will remind myself to watch the right-hand direction and wait for a big gap. That makes me sometimes drive slowly on the road.

In spite very careful, you still can not avoid making mistakes. Once I turned a turn-around and entered the wrong lane directly and almost crashed the oncoming car. So embarrassing and dangerous.

Hi Rob,

I am glad to see this new record published. Just would like to say thanks for your dedication and this series of audios have helped me tremendously. I am from China and haven’t got a good chance to learn the genuine English spoken by the native speaker. I believe that listening, reading and memorising your essays will greatly help me to integrate myself to Australia.

Thanks and best wishes for you and your family.

Zhiqiang
