It is interesting to note that the concept of "right of way" has been removed from various jurisdictions in Australia. We now have many "give way" rules. Basically, if someone is supposed to give way to you and you could have prevented an accident and didn't then you are considered proportionally at fault with the other person.
Not that many people take notice, but you are supposed to drive defensively here and work to avoid accidents. The only ones who have any sort of "right of way" are emergency service vehicles like ambulance, fire and police.
One thing I encourage the young people I know is to take up the various "defensive" driving courses that are available.
