Single panel comic. Title: Driving PSA: Random drivers can't grant you the right of way as a gift. There is a two lane road intersecting a larger road with a median. A car (labeled "You, waiting to turn left") waits to make a left and enter the northbound lanes of the four lane road from east bound lane of the two lane road. On the larger road there is a left turn lane in along with two through lanes on the north-bound side. There are a number of cars waiting to turn left in the turn lane. Above the first car there is a bubble that says "You go ahead! I'm feeling generous." That car is labeled "Time traveler pretending to be polite" There is a car approaching the intersection northbound in one of the through lanes. This car is labeled "Car that they are waving you into the path of" Lower caption: If someone waves you out, assume they are an assassin sent from the future to kill you and make it look like an accident.

@xkcdbot did you steal this from some driver training manual?

I hope you did. It should be in **evvry** one of them and in every children's book, too.
