When there are more than 2 cars - give way to the right > driving straight rule.  |
Guess you missed the part where I said that in Dutch law that's not the case.
It's something they changed not *that* long ago (a decade maybe?). The logic is that the car taking the long turn (left) may not have a car directly to his right, but by proxy he does; especially since there are plenty of T-intersections that are not 100% straight. So then the car going straight has "more" rights because he's the only one *not* making a turn.
Don't get me wrong, that's what the law says.
What happens in reality most of the time is exactly what you say; yellow goes first. It's just that our law states different, even though no one knows about it (nor is the government particularly clear with the rules, there's dozens of PDFs you have to use together to figure it all out)  |

This is funny, people always think their way is the only way to do it. Just imagine the yellow car is already in the middle of the intersection. This makes the whole situation much easier to understand why the green car is going first.

Not like that but with 4 cars yes all coming from different directions.
Where I pretty much always go first, totaly depends on the kind of car you drive around here lol who gets to go first.

If their way is the exact way as it is described in the rules how would that make it funny. I see a lot of people here going on how it works in the real life. But that doesn't matter one bit if one needs to know how it is specified by the rules.
And no it doesn't matter if 90% are ignorant about it or just don't follow those rules nor does it matter if the rules are impractical. There's only one right way to answer on an exam  |

There is no legal way I see for the green car to go first, and the yellow car is not in the middle of the intersection, is it?

| Quote: | | Danach muss ein abbiegendes Fahrzeug entgegenkommende Fahrzeuge durchfahren lassen. Somit darf in Ihrem Beispiel Fahrzeug B bis zur Mitte der Einmündung vorfahren, jedoch nicht abbiegen, weil Fahrzeug C als Entgegenkommender Vorrang gegenüber B hat. C wiederum hat die Vorfahrt von Fahrzeug A zu beachten, welches nunmehr - hinter dem Heck von Fahrzeug B her - nach links abbiegen darf. Dann setzt Fahrzeug C seine Fahrt fort und zuletzt biegt Fahrzeug B ab. |
It's explained here. In German, but cba to translate it word by word. |
I have seen similar suggestions before. Never liked them. For one, on simple roads, there is just no way I see the car stopping in the middle of the intersection in such a way that it would not stray into either of the other cars' path.
When I was still learning that stuff, the general idea was that there is no "right" way when faced with conflicting rules - it's up to the drivers to decide how they will handle this. The way you described above seems like an unncecessarily complicated way to stick to the rules that can be ignored anyway

Hell it was 20 years I ago I took my test, I dont remember the actual law for the state of florida on it.
The way its done in real world here is usually whoever got there first is the one to go anytime crossing an intersection to turn in concerned.
I cant say I ever remember getting to an intersection in 20 years of drive where me and them stopped at the SAME exact time. Usually at least a second or 2 of difference, if I have, its been very very rare, (laws aside) its down to courtesy of who goes then.
If its a left hand turn, you simply you wait until its clear.
