Americans have a more efficient description of Give Way. They use "Yield", which sounds rather arcane to British people. It fits better on a traffic sign and starts with an unusual letter, making it easier to spot. (In Wales the bilingual sign appears crowded, with 'Ildiwch' also). But, uniquely, they mount the warning triangle 'pointy side down' in case its face is illegible.
I gather the USA are phasing out their inefficient "4-way Stop" junctions but I've yet to hear they're introducing mini-roundabouts ... their vehicles are probably too big!
In truth, we don't know. I have no experience because I can no longer book tests, or even look at what's available. But this is what is being officially said. So, in a few months, we should be able to say and—more importantly—learners get the reasonable waiting times they deserve.
Not exactly by choice I've moved away from my perfect Peugeot electric car, after it was hit. Because I've had no income during May, and to reduce bank loan cost, I've bought a much cheaper car (£10k instead of £28k) which is still very easy to drive—easier in some respects—but does have a manual gearbox.
This Fiat adds a little gas for you as you raise the clutch to the biting point, makes recommendations for changing gears up and down, has automatic headlights, and includes cruise/speed controls.
Things it lacks compared to the last car are push-button starting, a central rear seat, reversing camera, front distance sensors, auto-dimming centre mirror, map-reading / footwell lights, and auto locking/unlocking. |
