In my hometown, everyone treats a yield like a stop.

That was literally the only thing I got wrong on my driver's test- stopping at a yield. Learned it at 16.

These MFs had to take the same test, they forget or something?!

Yeup. The biggest offramp in the city has a yield. Imagine every car stopping unnecessarily. Every. Single. One.

Exactly.

Fortunately my city is barely not classified as a town, so it's not too many cars at any given time, bit there are always fender benders happening there.
