Window tinting and light reflections on Person B's windshield can further complicate this scenario.
In the case of extreme window tinting and/or solar anomalies, Person B should have driven his apricot BMW instead of choosing to walk. Had he done that he would have passed the intersection long before this event could have become the subject of our discussion today. |

Do you have to wear the hat when you blow the whistle?

Here's the problem. Right now, 2/3 of people think Person A has the right of way, and 1/3 of people think Person B has the right of way. If my math is right, then that means there's only a 56 percent chance that two random people will be on the same page if they encounter each other in this situation. 56 percent means chaos.
