Explanation
Although there are laws governing right of way, drivers should never "demand" their right-of-way. The term “right of way” refers to who should wait and who should yield in situations where vehicles or pedestrians cannot all proceed at the same time. While the law indicates who should yield, it does not grant an absolute right of way to anyone. Prioritizing safety over being "right" is essential to prevent accidents.
