Does anyone follow this rule?

[Scuba_Steve]

If the public think a law is wrong, they can't just make up there own and start using it. There are channels for having them changed properly. To just start doing it however we want is fuckin stupid. On top of that it will take nothing for a lawyer to argue the case for the person obeying the ACTUAL law.

You keep obeying the law you like best, and someday I'll be lucky enough for you to sponsor me a new car.

but pretty much everyone follows the better rule you are the exception following the wrongly written one instead. As for sponsoring you a new car, yea sure if it every happens you'll have the payment in installments over the next 20yrs or so, I don't run insurance thats why I hope you have full cover

Must be a bunch of uneducated muppets who don't deserve a licence where you are then, I'd say about 80% follow the correct rule here, which isn't that hard to understand unless you're brain damaged

Yep, I've done it since before I did my practical driving test. In fact ever since I received a lecture from my sister-in-law, because I failed to give way to her

[MSTRS:Me]

the old right of way rules have the either car giving way(courtesy) but the overriding rule was give way to the right.

I don't actually remember when it changed, but I'd only been driving/riding a few years when it did. As I recall the old rule, it applied at uncontrolled intersections (as now, but there were a shit load more back then) and it assumed that on a T, the through road was given right-of-way. In other words, any side road or entry way went second to someone turning right across their front..

Most supermarket etc carparks round here have give way signs on the exit which means the blue car has right of way.Quite often the give way signs are less noticeable cos of a lot of other signage

Good point.

You can pay off my insurance company any way ya like.

Love your attitude though, "I don't like the law, so I'll do it my own way". Retards with that thinking shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel, or on a bike at all.

In this instance, you are part of a MINORITY. Worse still is that you are intentionally breaking the law and admitting to it.

Get off the roads, that those of us towing the line far more deserve than the arrogant likes of you!

The system in place is created to get maximum traffic flow in areas where an obvious hold up can occur. You're the friggin retard.

He isn't in this thread or any car park I've ever been to.

Haven't read the thread, but I'll admit to obeying road rules (including this one) where there is no particular reason not to.
Why would one risk a ticket or a financial penalty for no gain?

The reason not to is that no one else does. I'm not going to deliberately drive or ride into the side of someone just because I have legal right of way. Nor am I going to sit there patiently for more than 10 seconds trying to convince someone who does have legal right of way that they should go first.

[Dogboy900]

Yeah I follow it mostly the other person is waiting there and I stop well back and wave them through.
About the only people who seem to not be surprised are the truck drivers in the industrial area round work.

It is a real pet peeve of mine people not giving way where they should and giving way where they shouldn't.
No I am not going to crash deliberately to prove my point but I will be assertive about taking right of way when I can safely do so.

If you don't know the give way rules I suggest you learn them before you hurt someone who does!

I'd suggest they make the road a safer place by handing in their licence and taking the bus

Far from it.

I'm one of those people that gets pissed off with people who can't follow the road rules. Including people that just walk out onto pedestrian crossings when cars are already stopped for others. The law there has NOT changed a bit. If a car is between the diamond and the crossing when someone reaches the crossing on foot, the car has right of way.

I get fucked off with retards who can't merge.

And I get fucked off when sitting behind someone at an intersection, who is giving way when they shouldn't.

All of these things perpetuate problems on our roads, and ignorance of the road rules.

Well I can testify that people with brain damage can understand the rule so what's the excuse for everyone else?!?!?!

Plenty of countries fail you for things like stopping 0.5m too short or long of an intersection marking, but here in NZ she'll be right, no worries if you don't know all the rules 'cause the important thing is you get a licence..
