(You tube clip attached is from Australia but seems to be the same rules as here.)
According to the online Highway Code when stopped at a crossroads waiting to turn right onto the main road, vehicles across from you, on the other side of the crossroads, who are planning to drive straight over have the right of way as the two minor roads should be treated as one road.
Whilst I don't have a problem with this, as it is quite sensible, I am sure that when I learnt to drive in the early/mid '80s, my instructor taught me that the car that was going to end up on the main road always had right of way over those that were going to end up on the minor road.
Does anyone else have any similar recollections? Was I really taught this but the Highway Code has since changed... or am I wrong and have been really p*ssing off the good drivers of Perthshire and Nottinghamshire (and points in between) for the last 30 years.
