paul_r Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 does anyone know where to find these "new rules"? i had a quick google and cannot find anything. all i could find was forums with others also Edit Billaney that indicate right and then left to go straight surely the people who make road rules have not lost their minds!!!!!

twinkles Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 after googleing i have to admit i was wrong. you have to signal left before exiting, but not right when entering, when going straight ahead. I better stop indicating right then lol. Wonder where my driving instructor got his license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 i'm pretty sure when they updated the laws though, when showing it on the news they said you have to indicate right. Perhaps thats why everyone does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 One thing I hate is cyclists riding side by side down the road, or in packs sometimes taking up the whole lane. I vowed the other week the next time I saw some I'd yell out the window at them, I haven't seen any since though. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 look at the road code book. that rule makes things a lot safer in some cases, like at the bigger roundabouts in AKL. BUT very few people actually indicate correctly and thats where accidents occur. better to be safe than sorry I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 yup just asume everyone else can't drive, and stay out of their way. i lived in auckland all my life until 1 1/2 years ago, now i find it daunting, everyone drives so aggresively. don't go over 40km around here, unless your on the highway.

Luke* Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 WHY DO PEOPLE INDICATE RIGHT TO GO STRAIGHT AT ROUNDABOUTS!!!!!?????? that would have to be one of the most irritating things anyone can do, grr makes me soooo angry. dont people follow/understand the road rules?!! TOTALLY AGREE!! no you are dead right paul..........you DO NOT indicate right entering a round-a-bout, cos...... DUHHHHHH...that's what people do who are TURNING RIGHT! so all of the on-coming traffic thinks you are, slows down, stops, then has to start moving again...only to see some turkey carrying on straight ahead! these morons are costing people expensive petrol! i always give a friendly wave if someone indicates left off the round-a-bout as i'm approaching as i know i can carry on; especially useful when you have a manual car. kerry woodham recentlyish discussed this on talkback radio and when a guy rung up to tell her the actual ruling (as described above) she quickly cut him off. sigh.

A-town... Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 im sure the new rule was "indicate in, indicate out of all round abouts?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 no, this would mean a new law, and there ain't one! if there was, they'd have to make a huge deal about it so everyone knows. it's a case of monkey see monkey do i'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 These new rules actually mean nothing yet do they? Like, you cant be fined for not using it, just a courtesy thing? Well,its not in the road code yet anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-town... Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 if the indicating thing is not a law why do they make you do it in your driving test and if you fail to do so you fail the test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roadco ... bouts.html A-town, argue it, they are wrong. "If you are going 'straight' through a roundabout: *don't signal as you come up to the roundabout. *signal left as you pass the exit before the one you wish to take. At some small roundabouts it may not be possible to give three seconds warning, but it is courteous to give as much indication as you can.

Spink Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Here's something I seem to actually HAVE to say every time I go out and leave my husband at home with his teenagers....... - Why am I the only person who changes the toilet rolls? Are the last two sheets really enough to do ANYTHING with?! - What do you expect me to do with the last 2mm of milk in the bottom of the container? It's not enough to make a coffee, but if you leave it in there you don't have to take the responsibility of saying it's empty and replacing it! - Same with the butter; there's enough to spread on half a piece of toast. What am I supposed to do with that!!! Love my kids dearly but they drive me up the wall!!!!! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I hate people who think you work from home so are available to answer their computer questions 24/7. They ring at odd hours and always start by saying "I'm sorry to ring you at this hour/time/so late but..." If they were really sorry they would not have rung! Also, people who think since you are at home you have time for a long rambling chat about nothing. Retired people are good at this. They ring about a minor computer problem but you get long conversations about other stuff as well, despite explaining you are trying to get work done.
