  1. Don't care - personally I tend to always signal except in low-traffic residential streets.
    2. 

  2. No. 80% of STOP signs in the US should be replaced with yields, and I'm not going to object to rolling stops under those circumstances. Full stops at red lights please.
    3. 

  3. No in the US. Depends on the reasonableness of the jurisdiction when setting speed limits. If the Germans slap a 120km/h on a section of autobahn I am going to assume they have a good reason and obey it. But most US freeway limits are far too low, as is 70mph on UK motorways. (Where the design speed is closer to 85). I do obey speed limits in residential areas, although given the relative deadliness of housefires and car crashes building a residential street with a 60 design speed just in case a fire truck needs to speed down it and then posting a 25 limit and expecting it to be obeyed is murderous negligence.
    4. 

  4. Obviously yes. This is the law in most jurisdictions with safe, fast motorways.
    5. 

  5. No. Don't risk accidents to make a point. If you regularly do this, please put the international symbol of the road hog (four linked circles in a horizontal line) on the back of your car so I know what to expect.
    6. 

  6. Of course not. (Barring weird emergencies like taking a sick kid in the back of the car)
    7. 



And the fun part. Some scissors...


    

  • Mini-roundabouts are better than all-way stops for low-traffic neighbourhood intersections. (Yes - I'm British)
    • 

  • Zipper merges are obviously correct.  (Yes - I have an IQ above room termperature)
    • 

  • You should reverse into driveways and drive out forwards. (Is the law in the UK, but nobody complies. No, in my view)
    • 

  • Anything larger than an econobox should require at least $500k liability insurance. Driving uninsured or underinsured should be subject to corporal punishment. (My pet hobby horse - in the UK unlimited liability insurance is effectively compulsory and the system seems to work).
