Yes, you do yield to physics, which we did in the event I
described.  However, if you are in the two tons of moving
metal, you should yield to common sense and not speed
through places you shouldn't.

Failure to yield to physics = death or injury.
Failure to yield to common sense = lesson in why you shouldn't
drive like an asshole.
