As drivers, we are always under the common rule that requires us to exercise due care to avoid a collision. Yielding usually involves vehicles approaching at a speed and distance that present a reasonable danger of collision. Whoever has the last clear chance to prevent a collision should do so. Drivers have not yielded if they force others to slow down or wait. For example, merging onto a freeway with other traffic requires that both the driver on the freeway and the driver who wishes to enter the freeway to adjust speed and position to avoid the possibility of a collision.
Every person has the privilege of using public highways.
Yet there are all sorts of situations when one driver may want to use the same road space as another.
