AA trying to change the give-way law (again).

Scariest looking guy has right-of-way......

So it's - Give Way to Sarge at All Times?

If the Government was serious about reducing accidents then they would have Police concentrate on intersections, not speed, irrespective of whatever give way law was in place.

I know you posted this ages ago although...

That's a really, really good point. I'd like to see cops parked up with their radar switched off, and hidden in some bushes by intersections watching to make sure everybody is obeying the give-way rules.

In the safeas report, doesn't it say that most accidents happen at intersections?

All of my near-collisions (as I remember) have been things like, a guy seeing the green turn light, and thinking they can also go straight ahead (seeing green) at an intersection - then running into my poor FXR which is mid-turn across their path, people thinking they can pull a fast one out of intersections (and not being able to) - across my path again.. Running red lights.. The list goes on..

Anyone who thinks the present "give way" rules are a good idea shouldn't be allowed a driving licence. No other country even debates this daft idea, get rid of the rule tomorrow, this afternoon would be even better.

I'm with you on that one JK. It would solve the road congestion problems. Increase public transport patronage and save the coounty on fuel bills, not mention faster flow-ons through intersections. Looking forward to meeting you sometime.
