Hawaii has the strangest mix of ****ed up and awesome driving trends....
Need to merge? No problem, the procedure here is blinker, turn in, look, wave hand to thank guy you just cut off.
Need to cut across 3 lanes? No problem, procedure for that one is look spot the driver who will be in your way, apply brakes "just" enough to terrify them as you start to cross 3+ lanes of traffic at once, then turn on blinker.... don't forget the thank you hand or you are in trouble!!
Tailgating? We don't have that, the state standard is 6 feet, if you are more than 6 feet from the car in front of you it's an invitation for someone to merge.
Lucky for Hawaiians, their speed limits are an amazing 55 mph on 90% of the freeway (there are only 3, very short, very very short freeways), 35 mph on 8%, and a ludicrous 60mph on the remaining 2%.
Then you have some crazy ****ing hoon on an R3 bombing down the express lane with a burried speedo needle

Ah but even in the home of the marque - they're know to be delivered with Eingebautesvorfahrtrecht" - Or built in right of way.
In Madrid the right of way table is defined.
1) Buses
2) Large trucks
3) Taxis
4) Large vans/Small trucks
5) 4WD's
6) Sorry - fight amongst yourselves.
7) Roadrash fodder - mainly scooters.
There used to be sub categories based on whether it had a Madrid numberplate or not - but on new vehicles that has gone.
However there are maverick cases. My 21 year old hailstone dented and NEVER washed 4WD with now outlawed (on new vehicles) Brush Bar pretty much only has to cede passage to Cat 1 vehicles.
I simply don't take the bikes into Madrid if I can avoid it.
