I want to make a complaint

Don't forget the 3 second rule now.. you must give at least 3 seconds warning before turning. This may now involve you having to physicaly stop on the round about before leaving it if it is of the smaller variety

It would have made more sense?
And since I'm Scottish, I get to have more sense than EVERYBODY!

Yip, I have definitely noticed an increase in people indicating right and then going straight ahead at the roundabout. Seems to have started when the "new" rules were publicised - I had never seen it happen before but a lot of people seem to be paranoid about what their indicators should be doing and end up confusing everyone else.

Would agree with the above for smaller roundabouts - left turn, indicate left, right turn, indicate right, straight through, don't indicate at all.

BC.

I hope you give them a dose of the red and blues and a free roadside reeducation.

So then Bykey Cop... why am I still seeing cars still travelling less than .5 seconds behind the car in front at 110kmph in the rain and dark passed cop cars and they do nuthing?

No probs... can't answer your question though... if I was responsible for every other cops actions in NZ I would be a walking basket case...

Ah, she's a sonsy lassie !

What really shits me is when there is a two or more lane roundabout and some twit enteres the roundabout from the right lane (of the two lanes entering it). Then dives across my bow to take the left (9 oclock, 270 degree) exit. When I am continuing on to go straight ahead. Everybody seems to have overlooked that the new rules also laid down rules about what LANE you used to enter (and exit) . They'll never get it right, just assume they're all insane and may go in any direction at any moment without any notice or with contradictary notice.

But you should comment - 97 posts - we need more round numbers!

Ok this is how I have been doing this. Turn left indicate left, turn right indicate right then left when I pass the 12 o'clock exit, go straight nothing until leaving then indicate left when I pass the 9 o'clock exit. If this is not what the LTNZ thinks I should be doin then I don't care cause it makes sense from a common sense point of few and everyone who doesn't have the brains of a retarded dodo bird can tell what I'm doing. [/rant]

Again spot on but as I have said before the problem with common sense is that it is not that common!!!!!!!!! It will be so un common soon that it will have to be added to the subjects they teach in school! ! ! !
