Rights to the Road

Have you ever had a automobile come up on you with only the driver in it while you and your stoker were having a great ride only to have the driver give both of you the usual bad time (horn, getures and body language) about being on his/her road?

When this happens to us, I always have to wonder....now here are two of us (both taxpayers) and one of him/her.....hmmmm, who has more right to the road at that point?! Of course legally, we all three have the same right to the road andmust adhere to the rules of the road so as not to bump into each other or others. But, if one person is going "crazy-chicken" on two others at that moment, do the "two" philosophically have more right to be there? And should they go about their ride like the driver was completly out of their mind and has lost touch with the rules of the road at that particuliar moment?

Of course, realistically we mind our own business and never show "much" of a reaction to the "test dummy" in the auto. And we ride on.

Just wondering if this has ever entered anyone elses thoughts when riding a tandem.
