Default Who has right of way?

When waiting to join the main road when I leave my waterski club I get to a cross junction. I sit at the traffic lights waiting to turn left. When the lights go green they also do for the traffic sitting opposite me.

I assume that as I am going left and am closer to the main road that I have right of way and likewise the other side has right of way over me if I was turning right.

In case you didnt understand all that Ive scribbled something in paint. Id the black line and opposite traffic red.

Cheers,
Simon

Your right of way unless there are road markings / signs to indicate to the contrary.

Agreed, your right of way, under normal circumstances.

Cheers - I thought so too but wanted to check. Just amazes me the number of people coming from the other side that drive straight over as if Im not there and carry on regardless as if Im in the wrong. Have had to slam on the anchors numerous times now.

Ah well, if your car ever develops an expensive problem you know where to go in order to get it written off and paid for without any cost to you

Maybe they think they have an exclusive green light - or they are just plain dumb
