Is this a new law or a change to a current law: Change
What law do you wish to change/add: 12.14 Right of Way - Completely redefine it
Right of way is a rather complex law comparatively so let me just try my best to explain it. (Most of you who have driven before will know how it works I imagine but not everyone here has)
When approaching any intersection, a vehicle making a left turn shall yield right of way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction making a right turn, or going straight.
When approaching an intersection with a stop sign, vehicles will take turns going on all sides one by one in a clockwise motion, beginning with the first vehicle to come to a complete stop at the intersection.
(Please help me in writing this down if there is more detail or anything is wrong as I"m not great at explaining the complex intricacies of legal terminology on forum posts)
Increase the maximum fine to $3500 and a max 3 years sentence as failure to yield right of way causes frequent collisions and traffic jams at the highway intersection, or collisions at stop signs.
Why should this change/addition be made: The current right of way thing is completely illogical, unrealistic and confusing. It says "Right of way should be yielded to vehicles approaching from the right" Now that's all well and dandy but what if they're across the street from you and making a left turn? Who gets right of way then? I'll give you a hint, they crash into each other at the intersection.
Right of way does not literally mean RIGHT of way
What is the aim of this change/addition:
-Match actual laws more closely
-Stop accidents from happening
-Provide clearer definition for a law
-Increase penalty to discourage breaking the law or "Hustling" to make a turn first
