Priority to the right

On our second day in Belgium, we had a "tour guide" show us around the area. The person my husband took over for was very friendly and wanted us to see some houses for rent. As we were flying down tiny little roads that wouldn't even be paved in Nebraska, he stressed one driving rule, Priority to the Right! Unless you are on a VERY major road, all the smaller roads have priority. That means, as you're cruising along at 90kph on a road with or without a center lane, all the roads that join yours will have priority to the road and they'll pull out without looking, because they have the right of way. It's frightening! I think the only people who slow down when the see an arterial road are non-Belgians. From what I understand, this crazy, deadly rule is unique to Belgium. And you'll see signs of priority to the right accidents all over. People with either their front left side bashed in from turning onto the road, or the right side bashed in from not yielding to a priority road. If we get out of here without an accident from this crazy law, I'll be absolutely amazed!
