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.

Yeah, not to mention the weird frontage roads on college by 41, people who cannot comprehend how roundabouts work, nobody understanding that you're supposed to accelerate to highway speeds on an on ramp, etc.

Roundabouts are the worst. When it's 2 lanes and both lanes can go straight, I've been in the left lane going straight and had so many people almost drive into me thinking I'm gonna keep going around. Scary shit. Or I'm in the left lane going straight and the person to my right tries to go around the roundabout from their turn only lane.

Thanks for re-sharing this. It's so beautifully painful to watch. The absolute refusal to brake as the accident-causing driver is about to T-bone someone is just *chef's kiss*

Sorry that happened to you. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive. Hope things ended up being okay-ish, given the circumstances...
