My first instinct is always to concede to other people (even when I technically have right-of-way)
Imo, you should almost always take the right-of-way if you have it. Politeness be damned, the safety of yourself, your passengers, and the other people on the road ought to be the highest priority. And the safest thing you can do on the road is be predictable, which means taking the right-of-way when you have it.
Yeah, I know. It’s just that every time I arrive at an intersection slightly before the other person I’m doubting whether I was really there first and/or if the other person recognizes that. That and a bunch of other situations where I’m trying to process things and it feels safer to just wait (even if it isn’t actually).
