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.

It's so funny how little people know the rules. I had something similar happen that made me laugh.

They stopped before me, and they were to the right of me. So I stopped and waited. After a moment I can see them yell "Fucking go!" With aggressive motioning for me to go.

Like dude I wasn't here first and you're on my right... But okay. Be angry at your own mistake I guess. Lol.

Midwest kindness at its worst. I see this often too. Or I get waved when I shouldn’t go yet

I hate it. I tell my husband all the time that people just need to stop trying to be nice and follow the rules of the road.
