For those who come from countries that drive on the proper side of the=20
road (that'd be on the left :) ), NZ tends to surprise motorists with the=20
car turning right across from you has right of way over a car turning left=
=20
into the same street - or as I've read it called 'Gutter hugger turning'.

As of tomorrow NZ'ers will now be confused by changing the road rules that=
=20
allow the vehicle turning left has priority over that turning right across=
=20
it. However all the other Commonwealth and ex Commonwealth countries=20
visitors (Canada the notable exception) will no longer be confounded or=20
surprised unless of course they've ' gorn native ' (sic), in which case=20
they'll be confusingly confused.

The question is has the government left a settling in period for people to=
=20
get used to the new rules before prosecuting people for dangerous=20
maneuvering?
