That’s the mark of a psycho? Maybe they weren’t 100% sure who got there first, maybe they were just being nice, maybe they were grabbing a quick bite off their Big Mac. Maybe they just wanted to be sure they weren’t going to get broadsided when a real psycho came barreling through the intersection.
I often let people with only a few items go ahead of me at the grocery check-out, and sometimes will let 2-3 people hop in front of me. I must be Norman Bates psycho!
The speed limit ranges from 20 to 30 on my way to work, I slow down as I come up to 4-way/3-way stops.
On the other hand, many psychotics come up to a stop sign at 40-50, then screech to a halt, and probably would not have even stopped if it weren't for my fucking up their drive to work by being on their road.
I prefer letting the psychotic gearhead speed demons go on ahead, so I often wave them on their psychotic way.
"just trying to be nice" does not apply to right of way or the rules of the road. right of way is very clearly laid out for a reason, so everybody knows what to do, and there is no confusion, less accidents, and everybody gets where they are going faster. when it is your turn according to right of way, you go. period. no big mac, no trying to be nice. following the rules of right of way keeps everybody safe and on track to their destination.
oftentimes this "just trying to be nice" can lead to the intersection actually taking longer to get thru, a game of "intersection chicken" where two people are waiting for the other to go, then they go at the same time, and the confusion in these situations could lead to an accident.
if you are trying to be nice by disregarding right of way laws, you are slowing everybody down, putting people in danger and are the textbook definition of a shitty driver.
>>>>>There may be no "right of way" in the situation described. Rather, the vehicle on the left "shall yield" to the vehicle on the right. What's the difference? Good question.
The vehicle on the left "shall yield" to the vehicle on the right. Therefore the vehicle on the right has the right of way.
My wife couldn't believe it when we were in the states earlier this year. Here in Chile people do pretty much whatever the hell they want at any intersection, so the idea that somebody would actually yield to me just for being to the right of them was pretty novel to her. So we get to a four-way stop, same time as the guy to my left. I go, my wife has a momentary freak out, and then realizes the other guy was actually waiting for me to go. She really couldn't believe it, lol.
I was going to make some comment about Stu's worrying increase i craziness levels over the past year or so, but I didn't want to incur the wrath of some spiel about how I'm brainwashed by the media and/or how H.I.M. did....whatever.
Seriously, Stu. You're drifting too far from the shore, brother. Time to row on back...
Had a 'nice' old man stopped to let me make a left hand turn onto the main road. Waved me on, while the cars behind him were getting impatient and likely would have started passing and creating a dangerous situation had I followed the demands of the old geezer. So I stayed put and waited till the traffic cleared and I could make the turn legally and safely. The "Nice" old man flipped me off when I refused to turn in front of his vehicle. These "nice" drivers that don't know the rules of the road aren't actually very nice.
I can normally "deal" if I'm also in a car; however, if I'm a pedestrian, then said marked psycho will be forced to engage in a battle of wills ... definitely not walking in front of a vehicle that I would otherwise not have to.
If I arrive at a stop just seconds before the car on my right I usually tell them to go first, since they might have thought they got there first or at the same time, which would give them the RoW.
Waving someone through a 4-Way is the equivalent to taking an unnecessary "hit" at the blackjack table. It messes up the whole shoe. But, instead of just losing money, people will DIE.

Some of you may want to check the specific language in your state's regs.
There may be no "right of way" in the situation described. Rather, the vehicle on the left "shall yield" to the vehicle on the right.
