The Right Of Way

The car honks. My right of way it says.

The bus honks. My right of way it says.

Then the car pulls ahead and brakes abruptly in front of the bus. It was my right of way it says.

It brakes abruptly in front of a bus full of people, wanting to make its point.

The bus brakes in turn and we -young, old, whatever- are all abruptly flung forward.

What the…?

I don’t know or care whose right of way it was but you don’t brake abruptly in front of a bus.

I don’t care how right or big or clever you are, if you brake abruptly in front of a bus then you are wrong and small and stupid.

Here’s an idea, if you want to show us how important it is that you have your right of way then why not try braking abruptly in front of a train?
