Dumb drivers who don't know the road rules

[BMWST?]

Actually, I had a co-worker get ticketed by a cop for that exact thing. He turned left into the lane but the person coming from the other direction turning right wanted to be in the left lane to get into a driveway. The cop saw it as a simple Left turning driver not giving way to a right turning driver. Guess that's the law

its not..... you must turn into the lane on your side of the road.If you dont you are changing lanes within an intersection which is verboten

As usual, the KB crew is correct. I've just been shown the relevant pages on a NZTA document

...Wtf is with people driving big metal machines on our roads who don't even have any understanding of the rules governing something so important as who has right of way? Sure, they well may have thought "better to be safe than sorry, and wait" but if they don't know this, what else are they ignorant about???

...As for this bloody dumb ruckus of roundabout indicating, I ain't gonna do it! (my indicator stalk might wear out )

Bwahahahahaha...!

what really gets me is the people turning on to a 2 lane one way road, you turn into the closest lane, you dont sit and give way to the other guy because he has his own lane to turn into

50% of us are below average intelligence.

83.36% of Dunedin drivers are below average.

How do you do a right turn buy hand signals?

They're free - you don't need to buy them.

You spotted the deliberate mistook

how do you do indicate the intention to turn right using hand signals?

[Sure, I can understand left and right turns, but if you're going straight ahead through the roundabout? ]

Imagine yourself going round and round a roundabout. ALL of the exits are to your left. (Perhaps imagine cutting the road, and straightening the roundabout). It makes perfect sense to indicate LEFT before you exit the roundabout. (This also applies when you've initially indicated RIGHT on entry, to go, um, right).

The reason it's useful, is it lets the next driver along - who may not have seen you enter the roundabout - know that you intend to exit.

I find it also helps make sure the "right turning" people turn off their right indicator quickly enough, so you know they are not continuing 'round.

Why is this so hard?

Thats easy, you stick your left foot above your right shoulder and wriggle only the big and little toes.

I only do that in bed.

Imagine yourself going round and round a roundabout.

People who indicate right when entering a roundabout to go straight ahead should be shot.

If you don't know that how are you not going to rear end someone who is wanting to turn right ahead of you??? Fuck. People like you shouldn't be allowed on the roads. You put your left hand on the top of the helmet, palm upwards, and then pull your right hand in to just above your hip.



Then sing "I'm a little teapot....."

Then any bikes following don't know what the hell your signalling -- is there a popo, surface hazard, speed up, slow down, go past, Is he lost don't follow him, He needs to find a bog real quick, He woke up next to my wife this morning feeling rather satisfied, he meant to tell me but...what!?

That is correct.

There was something on the news a while ago where the cops made a show of ticketing people turning right into the left hand lane.

The road rules aren't that hard. If the cops can't understand them then it's no wonder people think they are twats.

There's a load of shit like this site around - hand signals. But if most people don't know what the hand signals mean what is the point of using them? That's why Dr Indy Cator was knighted for his invention.
