Default AG: Rules that apply everywhere apply on the road, Part Three


Rules that apply everywhere apply to riding in traffic.

Particularly applicable a

Thou shalt not kill a person without a good reason.

Thou shalt not injure or inconvenience another person without a good
reason.

Thou shalt not mess with another person's property without his
permission, and if you can't avoid doing so, apologize and offer
reparation.

If nobody else wants it, you may take it. (The stinker in this rule
is the difficulty in verifying that nobody else wants it.)

Responsibility must lie with a person who has the power to exercise
that responsibility. In traffic, this means that the person who can
see the other vehicle has a duty to avoid colliding with it.

(The person who *can't* see has the duty to be easy to avoid hitting;
this is also a special case of a general rule, but I can't formulate
it at the moment.)
