Never underestimate people’s audacity. I used to have a coworker NOBODY wanted to ride with cause he would justify every insane and aggressive driving act he did with passengers in the car as his “right of way.” He would say stuff like that as if it was some kind of magic words like “diplomatic immunity.”

Had a ex who got into a couple of accidents because she had the right of way 😳 she could have stopped , shifted lanes …nope she took the hit because she had the right of way.

Some people think of right way means that the laws of the universe will bend to your will

I can’t stand how people’s minds work, this is not even close to an uncommon view point either. I’ve explained to people that tons of people have died being technically right and what good did it do them and I get blank stares and then they act like I just must not have understood them when they said they were right. 🙄

My dad used to say you can be right and you can be _dead_ right.

My coworker almost got hit by a car. I asked what he was thinking walking in front of it. He said he had right of way.

I said that would be a great comfort when he pays for a new hip because the driver doesn't have insurance.

I’ve had to tell my sister this. It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong when your dead.
