Right of way
You always have right of way when moving straight. Cars that want to turn must wait for you, don’t be scared or slow down.
Whoever is inside the circle first has right of way. Always indicate when exiting circle.
Tips
Always check mirrors after 5 seconds when you are driving.
Always peak into intersecting roads/pedestrian crossing when driving past them
Check robots properly.
Take your time and don’t panic.
