    You have to be trolling. Surely no one is that Fucking thick.

    I'd give you some of mine, but I seem have lost a lot of it lately.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Being right about the road rules when interred 6ft under in a cemetary plot is still dead.

    You're being a dick for no reason. There are plenty of instances where I've "given way" when I wasn't legally required to. I will never ever trust another motorist and will err on the side of caution. You are less likely to be struck from behind than to run into a vehicle turning right out of a side street across your path. It is not "unworkable" to look out for your own safety at all times. Blindly following road rules that very few road users know implicitly is a recipe for disaster. Observation followed by an appropriate response are rules number 1 and 2. How you achieve that requires practice and the maintenance of riding and observation skills all done with goal of never arriving at the same place and time as another vehicle.

    Just to add fuel to the flames. My last 2 car accidents were at the same set of lights. Both times if the person had paid attention to the horn approaching from their right over the green light in front of them they would have had a much better day.
    One would have seen the falcon aqua planing at about 45 km diagonally into the intersection instead of pulling out for me to hit I could have slid through the intersection recovered control and carried on. But because she cared more about her green light than the safety of her unborn baby both our days were ruined.

    The second would have seen a giant 4x4 tyre that had just sheared the nuts off the hub bouncing down the road and let it carry on toward the hedge. Instead she pulled out into the path of the approaching air horns. Let's just say the wheel made short work of her b pillar.

    My grand father and father always repeated the following when driving and something came up meaning they went against the accepted rules.

    Boy, always remember: many a man has lost his life defending his right of way.

    Not ever. Correct, I'm not. They shouldn't. You don't have a case. You have blind faith.

    I never blindly trust others. I always take responsibility for my actions.

    Hope and faith are two different things.

    I am aware that some people think like that. I don't. Every interaction with another vehicle on the road is tempered by, "Where's my escape route?" That doesn't render my argument invalid. Luck is irrelevant and a fantasy. There's no point being right and dead.

    So if one crosses the centre line you just hammer on and expect that they will return to their side before they impede your journey?
