Road Code and Roundabouts on our Roads
Just wondering how many people know the Road Code and have "actually know what the rules are on our roads". I live beside a big round about that was created this year on Sel Peacock drive and Buscomb Ave, Henderson, Before the Roundabout was put in traffic travelling along either way on Sel peacock had the right of way, people in Buscomb Ave had to stop, I saw so many accidents where people both side of Buscomb Ave failed to stop and traffic either way on Sel peacock Drive were going far to fast. A large roundabout was put in earlier this year and the near misses are incredible, It appears no one one knows who has the right of way, even though there are "Give way" signs at the roundabout in all directions, No one follows the right hand rule, Give way to traffic on your right at all times. I have seen cars who legally have the right of way have to suddenly stop because person on their left thinks they have the right of way and hand hard on the horn. Cars coming along Buscomb Ave from the Church end come that fast and almost air borne when they hit the raised hump before the pedestrian crossing, look right past the parked cars at the Police station, they don't see the cars coming along the road because they are obscured by the parked cars, don't bother to stop and straight across the road in front of cars who had the right of way. It is not young drivers it is much olders who should know better. and also "Foreign drivers" who some how are aloud to drive on our roads and who have no idea at all. It really scares me being so close to the roundabout. May be when we renew our Drivers Licenses every 10 year we should sit the road code test.
