To the Boston driving rules, I propose the following addition:

Right of way is determined by the formula:

                       total mass   x    (obnoxiousness)^3
Right of Way     =     -----------------------------------
                       cost of being in resulting accident

Whomever has the highest number has the right of way.  Note that anyone
with sufficient obnoxiousness does not need a vehicle to have the right
of way.  Examples of this can be found in Harvard Square.
