Interesting...Older drivers may remember these rules from 1960 in ACT:
"in making a right hand turn, a motorist may approach the intersection
or junction as at present, but, in addition, he may approach in any lane
marked as a RIGHT HAND TURN lane. The present requirement that
he should drive his vehicle parallel with the left side of the carriageway
he is leaving until he is as near as practicable to the far side of the
carriageway he is entering is being omitted. He must keep to the left of
a traffic dome, follow any road marking, and not cross an unbroken
line, but in the absence of any road markings he is free to follow any
course subject to the general requirement that when he has entered the
other carriageway he shall keep as near as practicable to the left hand
side of it. "
Note the word "HE", women drivers apparently did not exist or did not have to follow these rules. Does this mean that when you turn right you have to start the turning from the left side of the road you are travelling on?
"Under the existing law a person convicted of reckless or dangerous driving, or
of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor is automatically disqualified from
driving and his licence is restored only after a subsequent application to the Court"
It seems driving under the influence your licence was cancelled automatically. I wonder what was the method of determining if a person was under the influence...
