car driving differences between India and Australia

Here are major differences in car driving between India and Australia.

1. Honking - In India, people honk without any proper reason. Here in Australia, you can honk to warn others only when other driver is making any mistake
2. Strict rules - In India, people tend to ignore traffic rules. But in Australia, All road rules are very strict and most importantly people follow road rules strictly.
3. Fines and demerit points - In India, fine amounts are very less so people are careless and tend to break rules. But in Australia, road fines are very heavy and also demerit points will be logged againt your license. If you accumulate lots of demerit points, your licenses may be cancelled. All traffic history is recorded in central database.
4. Parking zones and limits - In India, parking limits do not apply. If you get a parking spot, you can park the car, for unlimited hours. In Australia, there time restrictions for each parking at certain spots. I was fined $65 for exceeding parking limit by just 5 mins. 
5. Prams - In India, there are no rules related to baby and pram. But in Australia, if you are travelling with baby, baby must be sitting in a pram. You can not just hold a baby in your arms and travel. 
6. Driving test - In India, driving test is very easy to pass. In Australia, driving test is very difficult.
7. Intersections and roundabouts without traffic lights - In India, at intersections where there are no traffic lights, people cross the intersections without following any rules. But in Australia, we have certian rules when there are no traffic lights
8. Speed limits and speed cameras and automatic rego plate recognition - In India, there is a limited use of speed cameras
9. Rego after every year (not one time) - In India, you have to pay registration charges only once. But in Australia, you have to pay rego charges every year.
10. Fuel stations or petrol pumps - In India, car drivers do not need to fill the petrol on their own. You will find fuel station employee everywhere in India. In Australia, you have to fill petrol on your own.
