Orraloon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I always thought the rule was that whoever has the biggest vehicle, and the least likely to come off worse in a crash situation, goes first. Fiat 500s should be very careful about trying to bully 20 tonne artics. And if you drive a white van you always have right of way, anywhere at any time. Sometimes common sense is better than the highway code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look at the car in front? How else will they know when the traffic is moving? Got to admit "not looking" straight ahead is unusual driving advice.

You could just have a wee kip for a few seconds. The car behind will let you know when the traffic starts moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit "not looking" straight ahead is unusual driving advice. my recollection was sitting at traffic lights, will go back into the thread to see if the goalposts have been moved on me. BRB Also my advice was to not look, nothing about straight ahead etc. I guess if you're determined to make a point making stuff up in the short-term will make it stronger, but it sort of falls apart when everything is written down and available to both sides of the argument.
