I get angry at drivers that pull that "rolling stop" nonsense. There are several four way stops in our residential area. I'll blast my horn when a driver doesn't bother to make a full stop.

Every now and then, but not often enough, local police are out enforcing the laws. I'll usually park and go thank them for performing this duty.

Driving in DFW gets more haszardous with each passing day. Inattentive drivers are part of the problem, overly aggressive drivers exacerbate the problem.

I’m sick of 4-way stops, but in a few places they make sense, but in most places, they’re used for ‘traffic pacification’, which really pisses me off.

I live one house away from a nearby corner, N-S has right of way, E-W has a yield. In the last decade alone, we’ve had probably one accident each year due to drivers ignoring the yield, and almost daily honking there because someone ignored the sign. I’ve nearly been hit there going N-S more times than I can recount, and my mother’s boyfriend almost twenty years ago was hit there. Twice.

Worst part is, it’s blocks away from both a middle school (2 blocks east) and one elementary school (1 block north). These parents around here are fvcking awful.

You'd be honking your horn all day long in Alaska. I never even knew you were supposed to come to a complete stop until I got a ticket on a Marine Corps base three years after I got my license.

I bet you’re really a ton of fun at parties.
