I understand that you (other drivers in general) are going to run stop signs as if they don’t really say ‘STOP‘ but rather ‘KEEP GOING IF YOU’RE TURNING RIGHT‘, and I understand that you (other drivers in general) are going to turn right on a red light without even stopping (or even slowing down at times).
But when you do so, and you see a single car (such as mine – with no other vehicle in sight behind me) headed your way on the main road with no stop sign and a green light then wouldn’t it be so very courteous of you of waiting a couple of seconds until I pass by before you make your unlawful move ?
It would save me from drastically slowing down or slamming on my brakes to avoid crashing in to you due to your illegal road maneuver. I’d like to keep my perfect accident-free driving record (since 1984) intact.
This is particularly a problem for those of you who live in a certain neighbourhood here in Homestead that has a lot of water and a lot of stone scattered throughout. You live in a real nice neighbourhood. Why are you all in such a hurry to speed out of it onto Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Drive ?

Awasome report major.! Pray that you keep that record.
I also pray for all those drivers out there (Don’t get the major mad).
Thank Good I don’t drive anymore.:)
I struggle with which driver type I enjoy more:
1. Keep going if you’re turning right.
2. (4-way stop sign intersection) It’s my turn…yes? No. Yes! No!! I’ll just stop right in the middle of the intersection until everyone stops honking at me.
I believe the fundamental problem with the #2 type is the inability to count sequentially from 1 to 4.
HILARIOUS STUFF !
Regarding your 4-way stop sign intersection scenario I briefly ranted about that in Amendment 3 of ‘The Road Rage Files – Chapter 13’ (dated Friday October 26TH 2007).
I’m sure that I’ll get to reiterate my point again in a future ‘Road Rage Files’ when it happens to me again, but I’ve already got ‘The Road Rage Files – Chapter 15’ lined-up for later today.
2 out of 3 drivers in front of me annoyed me on my way home from work this afternoon at a particular traffic light here in Homestead. I’ll explain it in semi-great detail in this next exciting edition.
Keep it locked-in to my blog !
It sounds like we are reading from the same list of frustrations! Drivers are not courteous at all, it seems.
