What really caramelizes my onions is when a car pulls up to their stop sign before I reach mine, and then gestures for me to go. Then I spend confused seconds wondering what they're doing. Just go, it's your turn to go!
Yep, this is how I feel crossing streets on my bicycle. Any time a driver tries to be "nice" and wants me to go through a stop sign intersection even though they clearly stopped first, it makes me so worried. Just follow the rules, then everyone knows what's happening and who can go safely.
Can't help but wonder if a decade of high schools abandoning drivers ed classes in favor of for profit companies has left us with this situation where an increasing number of drivers don't understand how right of way is meant to keep order. See it all the time at four way stops
I almost got hit this way (wave of death). Crossing multiple lanes to make the turn left lane and traffic backing up. I permanently switched my approach to that intersection now.
