So here's the story. There is this dodgy T-intersection near work, where the lower part of the t has a 4m (at least) wide island in the middle of it. I have always wondered if the give way rules apply normally in this case. Here is an image of the normal give way rules where the dotted line means that car has to give way (I am the blue car):

So then I got on the phone to the LTSA and they told me to ask my council, and so I rang the council and they told me to ask the LTSA, so I waited another day, rang the LTSA again and got a very helpful woman who really took her time to understand my question... and more importantly give me an answer! And guess what... I was right!!! The red car has to give way as the traffic island means it's not an uncontrolled intersection and the red car must give way. I made a picture of it to help you visualise. (Again the dotted line means that car has to give way).

So now I might ask the council to put a give way sign there so no one ever shakes there fist at me again!
Aren't I a geek?
In other news work is going ok, a bit slow at the moment. Things are going great at home, Darren hasn't been in Akaroa this week (yay!) , the fishie babies are good and my eye is still puffy and swollen.
I am going to have a great weekend. Hope you all do too!
Love
Mindy
