That's true. Even IF you have the right of way, better to be safe. Been driving since I was 17. I'm 22 now ...

Driving here in the NY/NJ area (especially NJ) is most different than when I grew up in Minnesota, or even PA. Minnesota was great 'cuz there were all these dirt roads where you could just let the tail swing out, and there wasn't another car around for miles to get in your way. Seems here there's always a soccer mom in an SUV just looking for a way to jump in front of you and then slow down.
Just part of the local culture I guess

Tell me something I don't know. I remember the evil eye you gave me when I tried to have a teeny bit. Yikes!

You should try driving in Manila! OMG! It's a test of guts. Basically, if the nose gets in first, you have the right of way. The buses and trucks drive the same EXACT way!
