That rule was so bloody stupid it was hard to believe. An uncontrolled intersection should have always been treated as a give way with the straight through road having right of way. |

| 1254667 | 2012-01-18 10:44:00 | Roundabouts stay the same as always. Most have giveway signs anyway. Also from the link posted by the OP. Will there be any changes to the give-way rules at roundabouts?[/h]No. You should continue to give way to vehicles on the roundabout coming from your right. |

The current T junction rule was quite understandable along with the normal rite hand rules. . It seems like the the immigrant population that has arrived here over the past 20 years has no idea of the current rule or any rite hand turn rule.. |

| 1254669 | 2012-01-18 19:45:00 | I'm not convinced it needed changing, but the T intersections in question almost universally have a give way sign which makes them work like the new rule anyway, at least for traffic turning out of the side road. And you can hardly blame ignorance of road rules on any one group of people, plenty of people born here are just as ignorant. Also it's "right" not "rite" two completely different words. |

Youse got illegal immigrating American problems? Second thought: it could be any other nationality too, with the exceptions of Brit-lovin' left-side drivers, |

Often when I see some erratic driving, when you get up beside them, it is often an immigrant (a large amount of what I notice seems to be either Asian or Eastern European). The other percentage of the time seems to be young adults texting while driving. |

I can understand how you identify Asian drivers, since there are obvious phenotype characteristics that would give you this information, but how can you pick "Eastern European" from NZ European??? |

I was wanting that middle east/north african area, seems to be either West Asian/North African (including Somalia). |
