Things you don't often see, even in Cambodia

Its the reason I have a big airhorn and use it often.(and 2600kg of vehicle.) I love the look on the Lexis (etc) car drivers when they pull over on my side of the road and I pull over on their side of the road. "You want crazy driving, I'll show you crazy driving."

A guy on a moto looked behind him before pulling out in front of me yesterday. I can't recall seeing this before. I would have given him a standing ovation if it was possible.

I was under the impression that in Cambodia the 'right of way' rule is different to that present in most of the 'West' and indeed right of way is always given to the vehicle in front. So at roundabouts the traffic joining the roundabout has right of way. This was until recently true in France where presumably the rules here were derived from.

Coming out of sidestreets it also depends on the type of road. A sealed road has precedence but where an unsealed road joins a sealed one, the sealed road has precendence.

I may be totally wrong about all this but it does seem to be the underlying rule, apart from obviously the 'might is right' rule which conquers all and the idiots that join a road and proceed to swing across all three lanes at 10km/hr get right on my tits too.
