The other guy ALWAYS has the right of way whether legally or not.
They are ALL drunk.
They are all putting on makeup or digging a cheeseburger out of a bag.
They are all searching for a better radio station or reading a newspaper.
None of them remembered to bring their driving glasses.
Bicycles should never ride on the road.
It's your fault no matter what.
Zombies always make perfect eye contact before they eat you.
Keeping you alive is solely your responsibility.
