But what if two GTRs are approaching the intersection at the same time?
Well, I suppose both stop and have a yarn first anyway, but purely hypothetical?  :mfr_lol:

I dont think anyone know  :mfr_lol:

Speed ​​cameras: one member proposed an easing of sanctions

The UMP Haute-Saône, Alain Chrétien , who is also mayor of Vesoul, filed Feb. 12 a bill aimed at easing the penalty for small speeding. He asks that speeding less than 10 km / h, "committed out of town and on the highway" , are no longer subject to the loss of a point allowed.

Relaxation.
Whilst the National Road Safety (NCRP) has released its first recommendations, after a plenary meeting Wednesday, February 13, UMP deputy of Haute-Saône Alain Chrétien, proposed an easing of sanctions related to small speeding. He filed a bill to the National Assembly in this sense, can be designed to interfere with the process of Armand Jung, member of the Upper Rhine PS chairing the NSRF.

Traffic offenders.
elected the hope that the law distinguishes between "small speeding-related inattention" , the "voluntary excess fat" . And explain: "Those who are punished because they were driving 91 km / h instead of 90 are not big traffic offenders, but many have the feeling of being treated unfairly. We must avoid situations where a motorist socially dramatic prefer driving without a license, without insurance and therefore, to avoid losing his job " . Alain Chrétien said that 500,000 French drivers run without pink paper.

12 million points lost.
In 2011, more than 12 million points were lost from the Ministry of the Interior, a figure 19.3% increase compared to the previous year. "Over 90% violations of the speed observed from excess below 20 km / h, but there was no difference in terms of withdrawal point between an offender than the speed limit by 1 km / h on motorways and the exceeding 19 km / h in the city " , says the 40 Million Motorists Association.

Repressive policy.
, we are meeting to see a member advocate for limiting penalties caused by indiscriminate and disproportionate repressive policy of automated speed enforcement. However, it is surprising to hear, as a pretext, a distinction between minor offenses related to inattention, speeding and large.

Education.
Such careless mistakes affect mainly the vulnerable road users. They could be avoided if the road safety policy was oriented towards education, as advocated by the FFMC. It is unfortunate that elected this does not go further and require this new direction in his bill.

Now I am confused.
So how does that work in the UK?
If two roads meet and there are no signs, who has the right of way?  :wacko:
In the UK it's Priority to the Left, same as we have on Mini-roundabouts,... unless otherwise signposted.
The big problem in France and Belgium was inadequate signposting.
Now they seem to have signed pretty much every junction.

As for the two GTR riders approaching the junction,.... well the Black one goes first obviously!  :hammer:

Its Priority to the right in the UK, in which a driver of a vehicle shall give way to vehicles approaching from the right at Intersections & Roundabouts
