The Australian Road Rules (the Rules) are a set of model road rules developed by the National Road Transport Commission (NRTC) which form the platform for State and Territory road rules across Australia. The first edition of the Rules was published on 19 October 1999, and marked a milestone in road safety policy and legislation across Australia.
History
Road transport law, including the rules of the road or the road rules, is set by each of the eight State and Territories in Australia due to an absence of Commonwealth power to legislate in much of that field. Historically, there were many differences between the eight different sets of traffic rules in force in Australia. The Australian Road Rules project was aimed at establishing a model set of road rules that States and Territories across Australia could adopt in their local laws to create improved national uniformity or consistency.

Road Rules: Viewers' Revenge is the 14th season and final season of MTV's reality television series, Road Rules. The season premiered on January 30, 2007 at 9:00 pm EST/PST and ran through May 9, 2007. The cast is made up of six former Road Rulers and ten "Pit Crew" members. This is the first MTV reality show to be filmed and then aired in near real time with input from viewers at home.
The cast drove around California, Arizona, and Nevada competing in various missions. Each mission earned a prize of $10,000 to be pooled and split by the six cast members who made it to the finale. In addition to the cash prize, individual cast members won a Mazda3.
This season brought several changes, most notably the requirement for some to face-off against pit crew members for the right to stay on the RV. The cast was also given money and filming was not done on an ongoing schedule. This season also included new sponsorships from Wendy's and Mazda.
While this season was originally touted as bringing Road Rules out of hiatus, there have been no further seasons of Road Rules since this one, as of 2014, due to low ratings that possibly occurred to the new format.
Road Rules: Campus Crawl is the 11th season of Road Rules. The cast traveled around the United States, taking part in missions at various colleges and universities. A casting special aired on June 10, 2002, and the season premiered one week later on June 17, 2002.
