I look forward to seeing it here, if it comes to Melbourne that is.

Safe travels

Does it need to be converted to right hand drive now?

This means that vehicles at least 30 years old and no more than 4.5 tonnes GVM may be registered with left-hand drive

Someone should tell them that they drive on the wrong side of the road?

Kiwi's are from New Zealand. Do they drive on the wrong side too?

Correct. Like the UK, Australia and Japan, New Zealanders drive right-hand drive cars on the left-hand side of the road.

No conversion required in Australia.

Both my 66 Hertz and KR are still LHD, makes for interesting overtaking on country roads when you can’t see past the car in front because I’m on the shoulder of the road. Lucky my wife comes out with me...my spotter.
