Driving in Brunei
The rules of the road as our desk recorded them, native unit first.
Driving side
Left
Speed limits
50 / 80 / 100 km/h · 31 / 50 / 62 mph
urban / rural / motorway
International permit (IDP)
Recommended · Both accepted
Foreign licences are accepted for short visits; rental desks generally want an IDP with a non-English licence.
Blood alcohol limit
0.08% - but with alcohol sales banned, any drink-driving case is treated severely
Tolls
None.
Headlights
Not required by day.
Child seats
Required for young children; rental stock is limited, so reserve ahead.
Fuel is among the cheapest in the world because it is subsidised - though foreign-plated vehicles pay a higher rate. Roads are excellent and empty, which makes driving here genuinely pleasant.
