“Nothing to do with rights. Just common sense.”
Being dead right is a thing. While driving, I don’t want to be right (I had the right of way, they had the red light) but dead.
Dead and right was an early lesson provided to me by my mother.
A lesson that many in the entitled nanny state don’t get anymore and you can see it in play here.
This is what I hammered into my kids while teaching them to drive. I tell them not to ever trust other drivers, and don't go through a stop sign intersection unless you can see the cross traffic driver looking at you. I've had plenty of people pull out in front of me without looking.
