I kept this rule in mind when driving in New Zealand and did fine.
Definitely ask for automatic transmission, cost more but make the trip much easier.

I may not have thought this through, so if I've misunderstood what you were trying to say, forgive me please.
I haven't been to N.Z., but I've driven in Australia, and both countries drive on the left.
You said, 'the driver should position always next to the median.'
If a highway has a median, then it's fair to say that it is a dual carriageway.
The vast majority of dual carriageways have a minimum of two lanes in each direction, agreed?
If you are driving in N.Z. and driving NEXT to the median, you'd be in the fast, or overtaking lane, just as if you were in the U.S. and had the median next to you on your left, you'd be in what is normally the lane for overtaking.
Anyone who wished to overtake would have to do so on the inside, legal in the U.S., illegal in the U.K., don't know about the colonies down under.
