Changes to turning at intersections take effect in just over two weeks.
And despite fears about confusion reigning on the roads, a survey of 6000 Automobile Association members shows the changes to make driving safer have support. When similar changes were adopted in Victoria, Australia, in 1993, they resulted in a 7.1 per cent drop in crashes at intersections.

The new rules start from 5am on Sunday, March 25.
