...and this goes to show just how stupid the "left turning trafiic gives way to approaching right turning traffic" can get...

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

yes the yellow gives way

When the blue car wants to turn right, it is no different to a T intersection.

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.

if i was the blue car in that pic id give way, the yellow car is not indicating so id have no idea where hes going..... but im used to it, i live in nelson!

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.

Sorry, yes, yellow car should be inidcating - pic updated

yellow should, by letter of the law give way... but i can see the blue car giving way, i would untill id actually seen the yellow car stop..... im not that trusting!

yellow car should, by law, give way .... but if i was the blue car, i wouldnt be 100% trusting that the other dude was gonna stop...

well not if any of these polls are anything to go by

i agree here LOL

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.

buy a shitter, waaaay over insure it, and go for it!
fast return on your money!
just make sure they other car isnt doing 200kmh!!

Yellow should, but its stright, so theyd ignore the rules.

if i was blue id just wait.

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'

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

when has it ever been a recomendation????


look in the road code, at all the pretty pictures......

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
