this is a damn stupid rule....
you are on the main road and if the car is joining your road or crossing it and there is NO white line in front of him, HE DOES NOT HAVE TO STOP. YOU DO and give him right of way.
if there IS a white line he has to cross to join then YOU have the right of way.
I know this is still the case in France, Germany and Belgium, but I've only ever seen this in action once... however I have seen plenty of occasions, particularly going through towns that it's priority to the right, but on these occasions, I've always been presented with a solid white line across my lane and a Stop sign. To be honest it kind of makes sense as they are often blind turns on to what looks like the main drag, so this is in some ways safer.
