The law.  Your argument can also be applied to stop signs and signal
lights and any other regulatory devices.

The other driver is always the more dangerous driver, or so some will
always claim.  Guess what Tony, many of them are going to say you're
more dangerous.

As for me?  I'm going to tag them all.... and, oh, BTW, after many
years of investigating crashes I have a pretty fair idea of what is
dangerous and what isn't.   Pardon me if I pay little attention to
those who use the blackmail approach of (insert whiney child voice
here), "gimme what I want or I won't be nice!"
