True dat. The other day I saw two separate drivers, at two separate intersections, stop, in the middle of the intersection, blocking the major artery from a cross street. Just stop, in LANE. I have no idea why. They were literally broadside to incoming traffic, one with a family in their minivan. WTF? People don't even have a survival instinct anymore!
I attribute the stopping-dead-in-the-middle-of-the-intersection to over dependence on GPS. They can’t figure out what she’s telling them to do. Wild multilane changes to turn off, too. They thought it was a left but she told them to turn right. So they did. Across five lanes.
I’ve seen those dead stops in the middle of traffic-—but it’s happened in the middle of the state highway. Just bam, they braked to a dead stop in rushing 70mp traffic. It’s inexplicable.
