I don't usually jump on a post simply to disagree with it (it makes me sound 
"simply contrarian" and "argument provoking," which I am not), but I must do so 
here and now.  I am not an attorney.  In my state of California in the USA, at 
four-way stop-signs, we have a right-of-way law (California Vehicle Code §21800 
et al) which states essentially the same thing as what Florian calls Germany's 
"last resort:"  it says

"When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same 
time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the 
vehicle on his or her immediate right."

So, please don't say "other jurisdictions don't have this," as obviously, some 
do.  Thank you.
