“i have the right of way” was a form of protective charm uttered by urban travellers in the early 21st century. They believed this phrase acted as a ward against danger and injury, invoking the divine spirit of ‘Traffic Law’, one of their primary deities.
This is a common misconception. “Right of way” was not a charm against injury, but rather a curse wishing ruin upon those who injure you. It was often invoked in Small Claims Court, a sort of gladiatorial arena in which champions would battle on behalf of the aggrieved.
