Similar pointers apply in New Zealand.
Keep to the left-hand side of the road. If there's more than one lane in the direction you're going, the leftmost lane is for slower vehicles. If you need to overtake the vehicle ahead of you, overtake on the right. Do not cross double centre lines. Give way to police cars, ambulances and fire trucks whose sirens or flashing lights are activated.
