Does anyone follow this rule?

[superman]

Had a cop not give me way in this situation. Needless to say I went back and gave a nice informative update on give way rules. Least he was a blushing coppa not an angry one.

I think this rule doesn't apply to driveways though, although I have no idea why that would be. I can't imagine the road code differentiates between commercial and residential carparks.

Wrong it applies to any road intersection be it a driveway or an alleyway etc etc, UNLESS otherwise controlled by signs or traffic lights
Its just ignorant road users that create the myth 'unless your on a more main street or its a driveway'

resit your roadcode test dude

[Fatt Max]

It's not a case of I dont follow this rule, it's a case of I cant....

My car is green.....you see....

[Usarka]

I just barge through in the car but it's a piece of shit so I don't care if a twat in an XR6 dings it. You see some damn angry people reacting but it's funny because they're wrong and thick as pigshit.

My local Woolworths has give way signs at the entrances. Presumably because people couldn't cope with the basic rule.

Not only do I follow this rule, but I drive straight at the people who don't understand it and have the horn BLARING the whole time.

If people cannot understand the road rules, including all facets of our right hand rule, they should not be allowed to fuckin drive or ride!

I bet in a lot of european countries you wouldn't find 80% of drivers not understanding a basic road rule. They wouldn't let the dumb fucks get a licence in the first place.

thought those countries were why we were retarding our give-way rule

Yes I follow it. If I don't and there is a crash then I am at fault. This would be a bad thing. I even asked a cop about that situation once where the vehicle with right of way stops and beckons you to move. He said don't do it. If you connect it is your fault regardless of what the other driver did.

I'm aware of the rule and I think most people actually are as well. No one follows it because it's been replaced by the informal rule of assuming a Give Way sign could or should be at any and every T intersection.

Not only do I follow this rule, but I drive straight at the people who don't understand it and have the horn BLARING the whole time.

It can be entertaining but don't you find it gets old doing this every single time you go near a car park?

How did you pull him over?

Yes I follow it. If I don't and there is a crash then I am at fault. This would be a bad thing.

A crash when you're not at fault is also a bad thing. I certainly don't barge through assuming others will follow it.
I realise you probably just meant you don't go without right of way.

I'm with you there, for most people the "social law" has over-ridden the "road law" the rest are just ignorant so it still works out.

I'm all for teaching people how to drive but when it comes to a law that shouldn't exist I do it how it should be not how it is, "Social law" is a good thing

*I'm sure theres better words than "social law & road law" but I assume ya'll get what I mean

Interesting point is that laws only work when the majority agree and follow them. Any stupid law will be ignored by the majority & eventually be abolished or changed. Still waiting for the 30km past (non existent) roadworks one to go as almost everyone ignores it, in fact observe it at your own risk, 70km speed differential =bad

Tbh Im bad for this, I start at 6 and there is heavy road works down my way, but before 8am there is no work, so I will do the normal road speed (70k) in these areas, where as between 8am and 6pm ill do 30km, Sundays I do the normal limit because I have not once seen them doing work on a Sunday.
I try to use my own common sense, so I dont break these laws without my own set rules.. Retarded I know, as there is no excuse for breaking the law, but meh.

[spacemonkey]

.......or when the other person isn't a retarded monkey and, in fact, knows the road rules and decides that they do actually have right of way.

I have to admit that with knowing that I have the right of way it there's a crash, every now and then I deliberately try to scare the bejeesus out of cunts that don't give way like they are supposed too. the sight of my cage screaming towards their drivers door with the horn going makes them crap themselves lol
