I believe that the trouble usually stems from not remembering the "rule" for 4-way stops.

Do you know any good websites for driving theory in the UK??


Generally, the right of way should be given to the motorist to your right. However, problems arise because people don't all arrive at the stop at the same time. So, for example, if you arrive at the intersection, but another driver arrives just a bit later, you might be unsure of whether to go through the intersection or give the right of way to the later vehicle. I think that the safest bet is to always yield to the vehicle on the right, unless that vehicle arrives after you've started to move your vehicle through the intersection.

In some states and localities, if you fail to follow the correct order after all cars have reached a stop, then you can get a ticket. That, and the drivers probably do not want an accident to happen and ruin their car...

Because a four way stop requires common courtesy. the right of way should be given to whoever comes to the intersection first. Most drivers cant drive anyway and dont know about the rules of the road. So we flip out when we see these types of drivers

Why don't hospitals provide 4 wheel drive vehicles to the doctors?

Because they don't know how to drive. I get really irked by drivers who come to a 4 way stop, slow down, and then proceed through the intersection with total disregard for all of the other people at the intersection. My home is near the corner of a 5 way stop. There are accidents there all the time from inconsiderate morons behind the wheel.

Are seatbelts required on inward facing seats in a landrover 90?

Some of them aren't sure which rules to follow. The rules of the road are technically that people go in the order they arrived. But in practice, most people go in cross-pairs, regardless of who stopped first. The north/south facing cars go, then the east/west facing ones, then the north/south, etc. Most people are awkward with this because they are just making sure that the people who they think are supposed to stop really are stopping.
