That means that cars that their owners value the least win against other cars; a battered 1970s Volvo being a classic "effective negotiation tool". It's already battered and a couple more scrapes won't hurt. Owners of premium 4x4/SUV toys suffer here as their vehicles are pretty expensive to repair- unless its a company vehicle in which case they can drive pretty badly. As for bicycles, well, tough. They have almost no negotiating power whatsoever, except the ability to clip wing mirrors. The algorithm in Bristol for backing up is “whoever has least to lose”.
