We've got one of those. Typically everyone stops to let the other(s)

off at once and then slam the brakes on. Happens all the time.

Is there no new rule in the Highway Code to deal with this? At least in
the very limited bit of East Coast America I've driven in the rule is
that the second person to arrive gives way to the first to arrive.
Clearly the first to arrive generally stops or at least slows to walking
pace if the sight lines are very good.

The last thing we want to import from the US of A is the ****ty 4-way
stop.

Theer's been such a junction in a nearby village (Great Bookham) for a
very long time. Perhaps an American saw it and took the idea home ;-)
