So it's like boating? Biggest boat has right of way?
Biggest is not the rule in boating either. It is the slower or less maneuervable vehicle, which happens to be a ship VS a speed boat, the larger vehicle is slower and less maneurvable.
That is sort of true, but most people believe that a vessel under sail has the right of way over power vessels. This in not necessarialy so, since a commercial barge tow, and any vessel under tow has right of way over a vessel under sail. common sense dictates that if he is larger, and not predisposed to give way, you probably should.
