    Contrary to popular belief, the rule here in Texas is not that the vehicle with the biggest tires has ROW :D, but that every vehicle must yield ROW to the vehicle to their right.

    A lot of times, especially out in the country, one person will signal to the other to let the other know that they may go first.

    IMHO, At any intersection the right of way goes to the car with and/or needing the most duct tape.... Lol
