Study identifies the best place to drive a car in Australia

And which city in Australia has the most expensive parking. - by Laura Barry
  • 20 Nov 2019

Very few people take the time to analyse the driving conditions of their city, and many of us assume driving conditions are much the same across the country, but it turns out that the conditions vary wildly across Australia.

WATCH: A study has found that Australian drivers are distracted when behind the wheel

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane may be big bustling cities with massive populations, but it appears those cities struggle to provide residents with great driving conditions. In fact, drivers in NSW have even been deemed the worst car parkers in all of Australia.

According to the 2019 Driving Cities Index report, Perth in Western Australia has been ranked as the 13th best city in the world to drive in, and the best city in Australia, outranking Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Calgary in Canada was identified as having the best driving conditions in the world, according to the index, and Mumbai in India was rated the worst.

The ranking was determined based on factors such as the cost of petrol, road quality, parking affordability and safety.

Melbourne drivers reportedly pay the most in toll fees, Sydney was identified as being the most expensive city in the world for car parking fees, and Perth has one of the best cars-per-capita rates.

Unfortunately, the report also found that Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth only scored 86 for road quality, placing Aussie roads in the bottom third of quality in the world.
