In other words, observing the right of way protocol.
Why are people (especially cyclists) so loathe to
outrightly say: "right of way", and instead, dance
around such succint phrasing with foggy euphemisms
such as "rules of the road," "vehicular rules," &c?
Anyways, the "main pillars", or the 5 Principles of
Effective Cycling pretty much boil down to observing
and recognizing good ol' Right Of Way.
