Do you ever give way to a car that is turning in front of you and obey the NZ left hand rule? Its another one I fond really hard to get my head around.
I tend to stop pedalling and coast while I have my arm stuck out and then put it back on the bars for any braking/accelerating and the actual turning part. As for the NZ right-of-way rules, it really is ALWAYS give way to the right. The way I was taught to remember was that if you would get hit on the driver's side were you to collide with the other car, you would be in the wrong.
