If I am driving on a road, and a flying saucer with a spotlight is hovering ahead waiting to land, do I have to stop in the roadway and yield to them? Or do they have to yield to cars in the road? I checked my states driving manual and they don’t mention alien air/spacecraft at all.

I would guess that the UFO would have the right of way, as traffic would have to eventually stop for them anyways. Should I just stop in the roadway and put my hazards on so the flying saucer pilot is aware I am yielding the right of way to them?

    A few general traffic laws apply:

    1: The UFO is not a legally registered road vehicle and they must yield to all traffic.

    2: If you see a hazardous situation, like the UFO not clearly following traffic laws giving you space, you must do your part to avoid injury by avoiding a collision.

    So after you do brake for the UFO, or swerve and honk, you may go to the police and inform them of the aliens’ traffic violation. They may then get a fine.

    If you say “fuck it Im in the right” and crash into them, you are both breaking the law, but you are in bigger trouble for willfully endangering life and property. You get prison, the aliens get a fine.
