Ah yes!
More info for the casual reader on the AA NZ website Can't wait for it to be gone, and Kiwi's seem just as bad at following/interpreting/guessing what it means in some situations :) Had enough near misses because of this rule- if I'm turning left I shouldn't have to determine whether someone turning right into the same road thinks they have or have not enough time to turn:curse: Nor should I have to decide whether the car turning left thinks I haven't enough time and so is going to pull out in front of me. Ridiculous rule. And as for when I want to turn right into a road and there is someone who wants to turn right out of that road-I can't always tell whether they have a stop or give way sign...I will admit that I just assume I have right of way in these circumstances and this seems to be what most NZ drivers think too:D I do know that I am wrong before anyone says anything! Anyway lets not turn this into another driving thread:rofl: |
