Road Rules and Traffic Law in Western Australia

Western Australian traffic law rests on a few duties that questions test again and again: keep left unless overtaking on multi-lane roads with a speed limit above 80 km/h, obey the posted speed limit and never exceed it even when overtaking, give way as directed by signs, signals and markings, and drive with due care. A learner or provisional driver must display L or P plates as required and obey the conditions attached to the licence, including passenger and night restrictions for provisional holders.
