Coming home from work last night I pull closer to a 4-way stop sign intersection, behind a little import sedan. Now, generally people at this particular intersection in our town as quite lovely and polite, but last night it seemed everyone was "cutting in line". The guy in the sedan in front of me nearly got taken out by a delivery truck who didn't give the cross traffic a turn and jumped in for himself.
Once the delivery truck cleared, I figured the sedan would go and we;d get back to a normal 4-way stop rhythm. Good thing I gave myself just a teeniest bit more space--because just as I thought I could safely pull forward to the pole position (you know, where I'm next to go) the little sedan hits his brakes. Well, I hit mine as fast as I could and just missed bumping into him.
The sedan finally eases into the intersection--where, buy the way everyone was waiting for HIM--and made his way through. YIKES! That was too close.
Come on, people! Practice the rules we learned (or were supposed to learn) in driver's ed. My kids are better drivers than some people!
