I just found out that hook turns exist in Tasmania! Although only for bicycles. To quote the Tasmanian Road Rules 2019:

**35.**   **Optional hook turn by a bicycle rider**
(1)  The rider of a bicycle turning right at an intersection without a *hook turn only sign*, or a *no hook turn by bicycles sign*, may turn right at the intersection by making … a hook turn under this rule.

(it goes on a bit after that)

@ibk I *think* that the cycling hook turn was written into all the state road rules early this century as part of the "uniform national road rules" . Excellent fun to actually try to do them, as a huge percentage of drivers have no expectation of this happening. Added degree of difficulty when you do decide to do one, pull over at the left to turn right. Your lights go red but rather than a green, the cars on your left get a left turn arrow and you're propped sideways across in front of them
@ajft This all started when I stumbled upon a simulation of hook turning traffic by @augustusbrown , combined with a desire to know whether toddlers need to wear bike helmets. It's been quite the evening.
