I’m OK with not being in a hurry, but yielding YOUR right of way is dangerous. A lot of people do it because they are trying to be nice, but it slows down traffic and can cause an accident.
When you try to yield your right of way, you are giving it to someone who doesn’t legally have it. If they wait for you to go when you should, now no one is going and everyone around gets frustrated with the delay. If both of you give up waiting for the other and go at the same time, an accident happens. And guess who gets the ticket. Not you. The other poor schmuck gets ticketed for not yielding the right of way.
A basic rule of life is “If you have the right of way, take it.”
