I love the French style system where the car pulling out of the road on your right (straight out in front of you) has priority. Fantastic piece of thinking, that... (the idea is that people drive carefully so they don't t-bone anybody)... but needless to say, people don't drive carefully.
My favourite piece of road "design" was a cross-roads where the "main" road went round the corner and the other two roads came onto it. Imagine the road is like this (a cross-road):

The priority is:

So if even if people indicate, you have no clue which road they're going to take.
And despite not being able/legal to drive, I have a UK provisional driving license that I use for "identification" - it's always amuses me because it has no picture, and it's not actually valid (UK drivers licenses didn't used to have a picture, so the Continental Europeans accept them as ID even without a picture).
. A little while ago, I did something really dumb. BY ACCIDENT, I somehow, for some dumb reason, decided to make a 90 degree turn at 75mph. And well, for some dumb reason, I did it, at a stop light, I never meant to, or decided to, it just happened, with my mom in the car! Well, I made a right turn at a light (it was green) at 75mph, and the car didn't even skid or anything. I thought it would want to flip over, but not even close. My mom went insane, but was surprised the car didn't even squeak on the turn. My steering is insane, at 80+mph, I have to hold the wheel really still, because I only have to move it a few millimeters to change lanes. When I drove a Ford Focus on the highway at 75mph, I could turn the steering wheel like 20 degrees without the car turning! My car is really heavy too, 3,200+lb, but the weight distribution is really good. Moose, try test driving a VW or Audi, and see what real handling is like, not like your mushy bouncy Japanese suspension. My aunt has an Acura TL, what crap. You go over a bump, the thing bounces for 5 minutes. In my car, you go over a bump, you smack your face on the steering wheel. That's road feel. I've been in Acura's, and they feel just like Honda's (same company), the mushy suspension makes it seem like you're floating above the ground, the European suspension makes you feel every bump in the road up your ass. Oh, and Moose, Acura's are the most commonly stolen cars
