Could you explain that for the benefit of ignoramuses please?

When I started driving in France a few years ago I was petrified of the
"priorité a droit". This, as I discovered has been largely abandoned in
France, and when it's in force it is clearly signed. What is the situation in
Belgium?

......well.....they changed the law recently.....now, you must stop at
any road from the right and then look....if you bump into anyone from
the right for whatever reason, then its your
fault......except......nothing has really changed, you never know if
people will stop or not, so do some dont.
So if you want to avoid an accident you stop. This leads to the
inevitable 4 directions of traffic all looking at each other and
continues to lead to accidents.

Its not rocket science, draw a white line on the road (yes, some roads
do have them here !) and people pay attention.
