I'm sure the yellow is sopose to, shouldn't it be indicating too, because the road line goes right around?

When the blue car wants to turn right, it is no different to a T intersection.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Again, half of the members dont even know their give way rules. I really think that these people who have got it wrong, no longer deserve an opinion when having discussions about how some guy almost got hit because some old dude didn't know the rules.

I wouldve thought it was the blue car that had to give way? If it was me I would. Too many stupid rules these days. Look at the damn roundabout indicating, too dam confusing.

I'm the blue car at an intersection identical to this every day on my way to work.

I always give way to the yellow car because I dont want that awesome blue car crunched.

I'm sure the yellow car is technically making a left turn, so should give way, but apparently no other person in my suburb sees is this way.

8O I dont see how people find that roundabout law confusing - besides which I thought it was always law. I had to indicate off the roundabout when I did my license test.

yes! that was one thing that bugged me... when i did my full driving test the guy told me the only thing i lost points on was not indicating out of a round-about. when it was only a 'recommendation' :evil:

Its just like eating rat poison...its recommended that you dont do it but im still not going to jail if i have a bite :?

yes you are right, it has always been the law, How do people find it so confusing - its basic road rules you should have learned from when you sat your license, i sat my license about 8 years ago and i still remember them - if i ever have any doubts when i get home i refresh my memory with the road code - simple!

These polls go to prove that the main problem on nz roads is driver education - not speeding!!

I would happily watch a police officer give people tickets for failing to indicate/stop at intersections/roundabouts!!

just remember dude, speeding and drunk driving are the main killers on the road, not failing to give way at unmarked intersections and not indicating out of round-abouts :P
