Americans React To An Aussies Guide to Driving in Australia 

I'm pretty sure we call it parallel parking as well. Just depends on what mood you are in.

Reverse parking is when you pull up next to the car in front of the spot you want to park in and then reverse into that spot,and yes you do end up parrallel to the kerb.Driving Under the Influence means that you are over the legal limit and Driving While Intoxicated means that you are drunk,shitfaced,legless or all of the above.

In Australia we have booze buses…it’s a whole police department dedicated to catching drunk drivers. They will shut off a lane & guide you through where they may randomly alcohol & drug test you or they may test everyone…you will have to do a breath test for alcohol & a swab test for drugs. Any positive test & you’ll have to go into the bus for further testing…if you register again you’ll go to the station for further testing under arrest. Your car will be parked up & you’ll have to collect it the next day. If you refuse the test you will be charged as if you registered the highest amount & will be fined & suspended from driving for that time…

Do you guys in US have drink driving awareness ads? our main slogan for our ad's in AUS is "if you drink, then drive, you're a bloody idiot" haha

In Australia some people convicted of.driving will have to get an alcohol interlock installed in any vehicle you drive (once re-licensed) for at least six months.

Everyone parallel parks unless they park at an angle, then it's called angle parking. You don't always reverse park in particular, when you're able to drive straight into the parallel park position, otherwise it is reverse parking. Police in NSW very rarely stop people just to check their licence and registration. All police vehicles are equipped with computers that check all registration plates, so if you are driving an unregistered vehicle, they've got you before you stop. Nobody can register any vehicle without first obtaining insurance. Yes, there are some strange place names in Australia like, Gympie, Grong Grong, Yourkey's Knob, Bong Bong, Come-by- Chance, Cockburn, Diapur, Humpybong and a good one, Nowhere Else, in Tasmania & SA.

I think your lack of road rage would change if you came to Sydney and drove 🤣🤣🤣

We call it reverse parallel parking technically haha old mate just left off the parallel part 😁😁

We dont do sobriety tests, we just blow or talk into the breathalyser. If ur over the limit u go back to the station to verify via another breathalyser or if its RDT (random drug test) then u are given a blood test. Results come back about 6 weeks after.

DUI in Australia covers alcohol and drugs. Driving Under the Influence

Answer for you guys An Australian police breathalyzer helps determine people’s ability to drive after consuming alcohol. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a prevalent safety issue in many countries. It has resulted in thousands of casualties or fatalities on the road every day. Therefore, law enforcement personnel administer alcohol breath testing randomly or at checkpoints to keep the roadways safe. Law enforcement uses breathalyzers for roadside screenings to determine the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) reliably of potentially intoxicated drivers. A police breathalyzer is a portable device that analyses a breath sample to determine the BAC the same way products from Breathalysers Australia do. If your BAC exceeds the legal limit of 0.05 per cent, you will face legal charges and penalties. The police breathalyzers are robust and portable, with the most modern sensors for measuring BAC levels, similar technology is found in BACtrack products from Breathalysers Australia. High BAC levels can impair a person’s senses, perception, and motor function. These impairments then affect driving ability. Thus, Law enforcement patrols Australian highways frequently to ensure that all motorists can have a safe journey. They use police-grade breathalyzers to determine a person’s BAC. The most advanced breathalyzer sensor that an Australian police breathalyzer uses is fuel cell sensors technology. Breathalysers Australia sells devices that have the same sensors as police breathalyzers. Moreover, they also supply BACtrack breathalyzers catered to individuals and workplaces. These devices can drastically help with personal and workplace safety. How Do Australian Police Breathalyzers Work? When police suspect a person is driving whilst intoxicated, they will ask the driver to pull over and undertake sobriety tests, which will most likely be blowing into a breathalyzer device. An Australian police breathalyzer with fuel cell sensor technology helps determine the BAC level properly. When the sample breath goes to the sensors, it undergoes an electrochemical process that oxidizes the alcohol. The device then generates tiny electrical currents proportional to the amount of alcohol in the breath and converts it to BAC. The greater the BAC level, the stronger the currents generated. In addition, the fuel cell sensor breathalyzers are ethyl alcohol-specific and will not react with other substances. Therefore, they have a lower chance of producing false positives. Breathalyser Australia have an entire range of Breathalysers with police grade fuel cell technology.

Random Breath Testing by Police in Australia for alcohol also includes oral drug tests to detect Marihuana and Meth .

tim tam message recieved and understood, 1 extra large jar of vegemite on way.

Gympie is where the Gympie Gympie plant was first found and if you haven't heard of it you should have a look at it (gives the sensation of burning for up to a year or two if you touch it).

Gympie is a rural town about 100 minutes north of Brisbane. Originally a gold mining town, then timber, dairy and now the home of Nestle instant coffee. A nice town, but subject to occasional flooding and isolation. Gympie is also the name of a rainforest tree, contact with whose leaves produces a rash and pain described as a cross between a burn and electrocution (to be avoided).

DWI is the greater charge, meaning you were actually intoxicated ( ie drunk as a skunk), DUI means you had more alcohol in your system than legally allowed.

Anyone notice Phezz's jumper has the same logo as the guy in the video.. coincidence?

Reverse parallel or parallel parking are used here too. Courts can order the fitting of an interlock device to a pisspot’s car. They have to blow into it to activate the ignition. If you blow into and fail it notifies RMS (the responsible authority in NSW) and then you are in a new world of pain. PCA is the charge in NSW - Prescribe Content of Alcohol. You must wave when you cut in - that is immediate dispensation of guilt.

We call it both here in Aus. Parallel Parking is the official name, most people just say 'reverse park'

They suck coming after you for looking at Karl. Like you enjoyed it and gave joy around their program, they should be happy for you spreading the word

I think the Dui and Dwi is to do with an extra charge if you drunk and the difference is if your on drugs too. They are the separate bodies of charges. Dwi could be more or less stringent due to what drug influences the cause for a pull up.

Reverse parking is backing in to a spot, Paralel parking is driving into a 345dgree angle park.

you should check out issac's christchurch joke that had a bunch of controversy ;D haha

We've created a Tim Tam addict. You tried freezing them, biting adjacent corners, sticking one bitten corner in hot beverage and sucking through the other bitten corner .

I’ve always called it parallel parking.

Hey Guys, put a Mars Bar in the freezer then slam it on the bench before opening the packet it shatters into a thousand little yummy caramel pieces.

Hell, it's like they're viewing an alien talking about driving techniques on Mars.

Reverse parallel parking is what we call it if we are reversing into the park or parallel parking if we drive forward into it lol

You can be driving over the legal blood alcohol limit and not be impaired =illegal and “over PCA” . PCA means over prescribed concentration of alcohol You can be driving under the legal blood alcohol limit and be impaired = illegal and “DUI”. DUI means driving under the influence Driving with faculty impairment (you are actually pissed…slurring words, loss of balance etc) is the more serious offence.

Gympie is in central Queensland. Isaac is a stand up comedian, we only have DUI in Australia from .05 to pissed as shit. If a driver gets picked up DUI more than twice, most states put something on the car that you have to blow into before the motor starts, any alcohol , you need to look for another lift. The expense is up to the vehicle owner, which can add up to a few thousand dollars

hi guys, we call it parallel parking as well

Yes Gympie is named after the aboriginal word Gympie Gympie the name for the stinging nettle tree, which obviously were common in the area

he is a COMEDIAN FROM NEW ZEALAND which is south of Australia its a separate country but still considered part of Australia as are other islands around Australia and he does SHOWS AROUND AUSTRALIA

3:52 reverse parking and parallel parking is the same thing, as you park parallel to the curb (which you could drive front in with enough space, or reverse in with only 1 car length (watch Seinfeld s3e22)

In Australia we cannot be over 0.05 if over you lose your licence and then you have to get an interlocked and breathe inside to start your car.

Gympie is about 110 miles north of Brisbane QLD

If you watch some highway patrol, Australia videos, you'll notice that none of the officers that pull people over draw their firearms 😊 that's because it's extremely hard to get hands on guns here so they actually feel safe pulling them over😅

You guys should watch some Australian dashcam video compilations. November 2021 was pretty good.

DWI and DUI are not the same. Some states in USA only have one and others have both. DUI means that someone is driving and they are over the legal limit of alcohol. DWI means you are flat out wasted and drunk and way way over the limit. States are all different and different limits. And the whole walk the line preliminary tests happen as well and complicate things a lot. But in Australia we get a lot of American TV Shows and movies. So ive seen plenty of shows like ‘Cops’ and i follow two US lawyers on RU-vid. And every state is different and has its won laws and rules. But yes they are not the same.

What he did is a reverse parallel park. Backing into a regular parking lot slot is just parking, because it doesn't require any skill. Also, That drone shot of Bar beach was tasty. It's a city called Newcastle and it's where I have lived my whole life. Great place. It's the perfect balance between city and beach town. Edit: Maybe be careful which Butterfield vids you react to. He is somewhat of a controversial figure in aus due to the offensive nature of his comedy. Not to say who's right or wrong, just a heads up.

We call it parallel parking too (Victoria Australia )

The Buttsman is the biggest tourist magnet to Newcastle since the Pasha Bulker! And the Pasha Bulker was grounded near there. 3:50

You guys keep asking for suggestions. I have a big list of awesome Aussie vids you can check out you would love and so would everyone else. Where do i go to make suggestions for you guys?

Dui is low level, Dwi is when you can't walk or talk. I think. Difference between influence and intoxication.

We also call it parallel parking and reverse parking.

Parallel parking is the end result or reverse parking. When there's a smaller space you have to reverse park to get in. If there's heaps of room you just park forwards

Yeah we also call it parallel parking, but it's reverse because he's reversing in. Personally I call that reverse parallel parking, it's hard to do because every fucker is tailgating you

Ok Miles. You have mastered the pronunciation of the Australian "mate" - well done, as I stated before. Now it is time for your second lesson. In this video you are pronouncing "Aussie" incorrectly. It is Ozzzzzzzie. We often exchange z for s. I have had years of frustration and annoyance over this Auzzie trait as my first name has two ss in it and Aussies are ALWAYS replacing the ss with zz when pronouncing my name. Yes, I've given up over my name!

It's parallel parking in Australia too...

We also call it parallel parking

Love him. He is one of the biggest you Tubers in Australia. Love him

It's called parallel parking in Australia too. I don't know why reverse parking was referenced

Most important rule in Oz. The wave 👋 always bloody wave mate or the bush will claim ya.

Isaac is on Amazon prime in Australia

In Oz Our police cars have cameras that see your licence plate or number plate( yous probaly have them to) and unregistered or unlicenced alarms them the cop car straight away ..fine is about $800 for unregistered and registration is about $ 800 so get fucking registration..

Could be wrong, but that might be vertical blinds instead of a boarded up window.

SO IT'S NOT MISSISSIPPI BUT IT'S NOW CALLED METHISSIPPI

We call it parallel parking here too I'm in Melbourne

Parallel parking for us is side by side in the middle of the street.

The city that was all filmed in was Newcastle , which is my home town. We have a Supercar CBD street race here . This is the first and most specular race footage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z3tRuiyCMLw.html

We have parallel parking to. Reverse parking is when you parking between 2 vehicles but you cant just drive in. 🙄

Gympie is 3 hours north off Brisbane

Pretty sure it's parallel parking here too and DUI's and DWI's are the same thing. It's just semantics.

We call it parallel parking in Australia too.

Parallel parking in some states of Australia too.

Its reverse Parallel Parking. Parallel Parking you drive forward in

You should check out Austen Tayshus doing Australiana (with subtitles of course)😆🇭🇲

It's parallel parking in Australia too😊

Sometimes different states favour calling it different things.

Can't spell. Meant to say parralal parking here is driving in a 45 degree angle parking usually facing forward.

Its parallel parking in Aus too.

Auzzie (spelt so Miles can read it) Comedy suggestions: Steady Eddie (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StcXGhuliRk.html); Austen Tayshus (Thumbnail made for Phezz: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StcXGhuliRk.html); Kevin Bloody Wilson (taking the piss - don't react to this one, just watch for your own amusement: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x1Zuo2JtTdY.html)

Ha. Just realised this guy lives in my city.

The freezer? You mean the fridge. 🧐

It is called reverse parkimg or parallel parking

He was reversing to be able to parallel park

Sure is a Gympie. My home town. Named after the Gympie Gympie tree found in the area. Not a tree to mess with!

I would imagine to my understanding dwi would refer more to drugs and dui would be alcohol

You can parallel park both forward and reverse..... he was reverse parking.

I call it reverse parking, because you don't leave your car parallel to the other car, do you? But yes, we also call it parallel parking here...Here's one for you mates: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7CcebxASaQk.html

That’s what we call a reverse parallel park

Hmm, how will ignition-linked breath analysers distinguish between a sober driver and a full load of fully loaded passengers?!

Australia invented the the technology to detect people using mobile phones while operating a car. We were also the first jurisdiction in the world which uses this to issue fines for this.

i like the salted caramel tim tams

I call it parallel parking. Depends where you live and how old you are lol

Here we call it DD drink driving or drug driving, if you get done for DD you can lose your license

Great video 😍

We say parallel parking too

Gympie is just north of me.

Intoxicated is Under the Influence of Alcohol. DWI . DUI is under the influence of ANY drug.

It's parallel parking. Maybe reverse parallel parking.

Try a mars bar from the fridge with a coca cola in a glass bottle

DUI and DWI mean the same thing but DUI is more commonly used.

Gympy is a big music festival

It's funny Channel 9 came after you for showing today videos because nobody watches their show on tv lol.

The road laws in America i found very liberal compared to Australia. In fact pretty much everywhere round the globe except New Zealand which have somewhat comparable road laws to Australia. For example seat belts became mandatory in Australia late last century. In many States of America its still optional. A work colleague of mine went overseas jumped in the cab and the first thing she did was put on a seatbelt. The driver looked @ her funny and said you're not from these parts are u? haha

You can buy tim tams in the US..

YEAH. I LIVE IN GYMPIE (GOLD TOWN)

You guys must check out Carl Baron an Australian stand up comedian 👍👍

Intoxicated = alcohol influence = drugs. Pretty simple. I’m and Aussie and I know that. What do they teach you in school?
