| 734625 | 2009-01-03 10:18:00 | Just adding to Limepiles comments - There was a thread about the same subject a short while ago - ever since that - I've kept an eye so to speak - its amazing the NOBODY on the main road gives way to the car turning right as described above. (that I have seen anyway) Shortly after that above mentioned thread - I was the car turning right onto the main road, Even the cop in the line of 6 or 7 cars turning just went through - would have been "interesting" had myself or someone else gone when the others were meant to have given way and had an accident. I spose its easier to give way, even if you're in the right, than have a prang. |

And the cars on the main rd are supposed to stop? I can see why no-one does. Sounds like common sense to me, whatever the rulebook says. I sure wouldn't pull out expecting anyone to wait for me. |

| 734628 | 2009-01-03 20:45:00 | According to this (www.landtransport.govt.nz) Blue gives way to red 3rd pic from the bottom. --- Seems wrong some how. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 734629 | 2009-01-03 23:27:00 | Good rule of thumb which is law here in 99.9% of situations:- IF your Drivers Door might get hit in a maneuver then YOU are in the wrong. This will change if/when the right hand rule reverts back if the law gets passed. forums.pcworld.co.nz |

| 734630 | 2009-01-03 23:30:00 | And the cars on the main rd are supposed to stop? There is no provision in New Zealand for a "Main Road Rule" Most times main roads will have Stop or Give Way signs, but in any case where there isn't one the Right Hand Rule applies. If no sign exists then Give Way to your Right. |

| 734632 | 2009-01-04 00:01:00 | Looking at the picture it seems to have a red light with a green right arrow which means the red car will have a red light and therefore must give way to the blue car. www.imagef1.net.nz |

And Red is a bus or truck, so I wouldn't argue with it I think they have there own rules dont they :lol: "I'm bigger than you - what you gonna do about it";) |

Another way of looking at it (especially if you are driving/riding a more vulnerable vehicle): "Better to be right than dead".. :) |
