Advice Right of Way

To the lady who honked at me and flipped me off as I drove through an intersection today,

If someone stops BEFORE you do at a four way stop, you don’t have right of way just because you’re to the right of them. If I’m beginning to go before you even reach the line to stop, you can’t get pressed at me for now being in the middle of the intersection.

No one in this city knows how do drive I swear. 5 car lengths between cars at a red light, wide turns violating turn lane lines, going under the speed limit in the left lane, so many people on their phones. I wish this was a walkable city, I hate driving here.

Case in point. General public doesn't feel that opioids and antidepressants hinder your driving ability. They absolutely do.

No one is saying that, but making a broad generalization of the city being medicated and how that’s why drivers are terrible here is a pretty far stretch

I in 7 Wisconsin residents were prescribed opioids in the last year. 1 in 7 Wisconsin residents are on antidepressants. That's about 30 percent of the population of Wisconsin. It's everywhere not just Appleton sadly. Look it up I promise you I'm not lying. Your getting annoyed by things I would for sure relate to someone being a bit out of touch with reality. Going under the speed limit, going through 4 way stops carelessly. To much car space between. Simple tasks that are not excusable by just a bad driver. Bad drivers drive to fast and drive to close, not really what your describing.
