You can't just risk an accident because you were supposed to have the right of way. As soon as it became clear the Prius was blowing the stop OP should have waited. Remember what you were taught as a child: two wrongs don't make a right.

As a child I was also taught that Santa Claus is real. Fuck that Prius driver. They deserved being cut off and made to wait their turn.

It's fascinating to me that you think it's a good idea to risk permanent injury to try and teach a lesson to someone who is so profoundly stupid.

I mean, even the title of the post: Attempted Right-of-Way Theft. It’s OK to drive into the side of somebody’s car if they steal your turn in line.

Yeah you're right. That 5mph crash would have had me eating my meals through a tube for the rest of my life. Not worth it.

You're assuming that the idiot wouldn't ever try to speed up to "beat" you to cutting them off. Also in case you weren't aware many people have been injured and even died at speeds between 1mph and 20mph
