Safety

Picture a four way traffic light where a neighborhood street ends ("T"s) into a major street. Across from the neighborhood street is a business that has a parking lot exit. The neighborhood street does not continue across into the business. It ends, there is a curb (ramped for cars to enter and exit the business) and the sidewalk is continuos (at the same height across the business entrance).

This light has traffic from the major road (back & forth and turning onto the neighborhood street and into business), neighborhood street (turning onto major road and continuing across into business), and business (turning onto major road and continuing across onto neighborhood street).

Question Is this a "T" intersection (where the light just happens to line up with the parking lot exit) so the cars exiting the parking lot should always give way?
Or is it a 4 way intersection? all car "rules of the road" apply and walkers in front of business should be stopping if their light is red.

It is a four way stop. The north bound lane has a blinking red light, the south bound lane has a blinking yellow light. There is a driver in the south bound lane with his left turn signal on, and he has stopped at the light but turned slightly into the road, having begun his left turn. Behind him is a truck with no signal on. There is also a driver in the north bound lane with her left turn signal on who has stopped as well.

The south bound driver, seeing that the north bound driver was there before him waves her on; she waves back and begins to make her turn. At this time, the driver behind the south bound driver decides to peel around the turning driver and go straight, just as the north bound driver is making her left turn. An accident results, with the south bound truck striking the north bound vehicle on the passenger side, smashing the headlight and bumper.

Whose fault was this accident?

the car ahead perfectly clearly. Rear fog lights only dazzle the driver behind and reduce the change in light when the driver in front uses the brakes. Do you agree that they should not be used unless in VERY THICK fog.

I hve heard in some television reviews that Zen estilo has bad aerodynamics which causes estilo to be unstable on highways at highspeed. Also from safety point of view how much estilo has given thought on side door impacts?

More specifically, when you're sitting at a stoplight going north and the southbound traffic is turning (with neither side having a green arrow) do the people traveling straight have to wait or do the turners yield right of way?

When waiting for oncomming traffic comming from the other direction.... Cars are supposed to slowly pull into the intersection to make a left hand turn...SO OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND THEM can get a chance to make the light/left turn also... but I see SO MANY PEOPLE FAIL to pull into the intersection in preparation for their left hand turn, and as a result traffic backs up. Please tell me if you are one of those people who dont pull into the intersection for a left hand turn, please tell me....WHY? Why dont you pull into the intersection like you are supposed to!?!

In the UK, you often here a phrase called "Speed kills". In other countries you never hear this sentence and on display boards is says "Reckless driving kills" instead. This would mean, the faster cars drive, the more accidents there are - this is generalising to much and can be proved to be wrong. This would produce a graph where the speed is on the x-axis and the number of accidents on the y-axes that shows a linear graph. The result is only representative however, if only speed is the factor not other related parameters. Statistics on German motorways show less accidents at speeds between 100-120 mph then 70-80 mph.
On country roads, the graph looks different of course.
If you draw a graph that shows safety distance versus accidents, you see a more linear graph. Generalising is always too easy. Reducing accidents by reducing speed limits does not solve the actual problem, which is aggressive driving, unsafe cars/tyres/breaks, untrained drivers and alcohol.

To get rid of the person, I moved into the left lane to let them by. Then, at the stop sign they start making gestures back at me like I did something wrong. Of course, I said something out of my window that you were tailgating me and I pulled over to the left to let you go. Now, you have a problem with me? Then, he got into the left lane, I passed him and he took a picture of my license tag. What does that mean? Should I take this to the authorities?

Do they not realise that the speed limit is a safe speed to drive at on the road concerned? If you are on a wide, straight road with nothing in front of you, you should drive at least somewhere near the speed limit - definitely not 50% below it!

These people are soooo frustrating. They make perfectly safe drivers late for work when there is no good reason for it! If they do not have the confidence in themselves that they can control their car at 60mph then they should not be on the road! This is a major contributing factor to road congestion.

I am not ageist but I have to say most of these people are old. Shouldnt they take a test at 65 or something to check they are still capable of driving sensibly?

Failing that, pull over and let us people who have lives to lead past ... please!!!

If a fat man is forced to pay double seat (because of his girth) on a plane, Why not do the same for taxi rides and busses.

That it is now illegal for UK Drivers to STOP on the hard shoulder of the motorway to rest?

There are always plenty of warning signs telling us to TAKE A BREAK as tierdness kills, but it ACTUALLY means we should pull into the next service station, NOT the hard shoulder. My mate got a fine last week of £80 for stopping on the hard shoulder. All she was doing was trying to wake herself up for her last hour of driving. A police car pulled up behind her and gave her a fine for stopping there!!!

How many of you think this is actually ridiculous? If your tierd and falling asleep at the wheel SURELY it makes more sence to pull over straight away, rather than RISK it and others saftey to make it to the next service station.

What are everyone elses thoughts?
