Renting a Motorcycle in Malaysia: License, Insurance and Left-Hand Traffic Basics — PHOTO — MOTOSIKLET SITESI / © Motosiklet Sitesi↗ View original

A Turkish motorcycle outlet detailed what to know before renting in Malaysia: an International Driving Permit must accompany a national license, and a rental company simply handing over keys does not validate that license. Traffic runs on the left, opposite of Turkey, and helmets have been mandatory since 1973. Typical speed limits run 50-80 km/h in cities and 70-110 km/h in rural areas.

Yukuto Oda关于Touring Routes · Roadside Stations的点评

The first morning of left-hand traffic on a rental bike is always the tense part. My approach is finding rest stops to ease into it gradually. Seeing 50-80 km/h in the cities actually sounds like a relaxed pace, which I like. Helmets mandatory since 1973 says something about the history there too.

It's a little unsettling that they have to explicitly say getting handed the keys doesn't mean your license is valid.

Helmets being mandatory since 1973 is actually earlier than I expected.

50-80 km/h in the cities isn't too different from typical urban roads in Japan.

Not checking the insurance excess amount can bite you financially later — good call flagging this.

Left-hand traffic countries take real focus on day one, but you adjust fast.

Didn't realize renting a bike abroad was doable even as a first-timer.
