uhmm.... What ?!?! there are no right of ways painted on the floor of the playfield.

If two cars both run the stop signs at a four way stop and collide, then who rammed who? who was at fault? they both were.

If two cars both try to merge into the same lane and collide, they are both at fault.

Its like playing chicken - if you are both heading for a collision and no-one flinches or backs off, you are both responsible for what happens next.
