Nobody can best Captain Neal. I bet he *is* lurking. I bet what you said made sense to him.
I bet he decided his lessons should be accurate. He's perfect so his lessons need to be perfect
too.

Not exactly but they do say *keep out of the way of*. That's the same as *give way*.
But, the rule doesn't say anything about stand on. So maybe that's your point. It should
just be a give way list. Happy now, Mr. Pedantic? :-)


Nope. You see the words but you're not reading them.

What are the definitions of "standon" and "giveway"? Are all
relationships in the pecking order specified in this way?
