The word is actually "recht", but we get the point. American drivers are a whole lot better than most countries (I've driven in 37) but can't compare to the Germans. The German traffic law states that a driver will always assume you will obey the traffic law (whatever it may be). That means at 4 way stops you don't wave someone on even though you're next to cross the intersection and, if you get hit passing on the right, you're definitely at fault.
