More Road Rage

As promised today's second rant...

Know what makes me angry? People who don't understand stop signs.

Like the people who clearly pulled up to a stop sign before you (they are sitting there when you pull up) but then don't go even though they clearly have the right of way. Sometimes they give me a wave like "you can go first" Hey, idiot... the way a stop sign works is the person who gets there first has the right of way. Don't wave me through when clearly you should be going.

And, speaking of waves, what is with the people who wave you through when you have the right of way, yeah I know I have the right of way buddy, that's why I'm pulling forwards.

Now that I think about it there is a lot of unnecessary waving around stop signs these days. Because, there is also the guy who waves at you when it's his turn to go and you're yielding the right of way, I'm always like. "Don't bother thanking me just learn to drive better".

More and more though I am noting people set up camp at a stop sign. Their waiting for a car that is in another zipcode to pass before they go, or they wait for a turtle speed car to make it completely by them bofore they even edge forward. These people need to learn to judge oncoming traffic better.

One set of people I don't have a problem with are the people who turn a Stop Sign into a Yield sign. I like them because they show an understanding of the world around them. They know the speed of oncoming triaffic and they know the capabilities of both themselves and their vehicle which shows a huge sence of awareness, which I applaud.
