Stupid Driver Thinking He Deserves Right-Of-Way
Posted by Diuternity under Unintentional Drifting[5] Comments
I swear there are a lot of ignorant drivers out there. I read his lips and he said something to the extent of “You Fucking Asshole” etc bla bla bla. Why may you ask? Because he’s a jack-ass no good for nothing ignorant son-of-a-bitch! He thinks I should give him right-of-way just because he’s been sitting for 30 seconds trying to turn left.
First of all, you have to realize this is a two lane and second, I’m in more danger stopping and turning simply because it’s a two lane road! Not to mention the traffic that I’ll be hold up just to make the turn! I don’t like to be held up when people turn and I’m sure others don’t either. So you try if all possible, when making a turn like I am, to not completely stop unless it’s necessary. We’ve all been in this situation. Hell what makes it ironic is I’ve been in that guys shoes (the yellow car) before. Trying to make a left onto on-coming traffic. I get help up too when someone needs to turn in. Sometimes I’m sitting like him for a good minute but you don’t see me flicking people off and calling people names! Seriously, … WTF?
BTW I’m the dark blue car trying to turn-in into a shopping plaza. Jackass is the yellow car. He needs a chill pill dammit. I see drivers like him ALL the time! Getting mad for no apparent reason(s). When I’m on the road, I let shit like this “SLIDE” just because’. You never know what kinda phsyco you’ll meet head-to-head with. You could lose a life over something just as stupid if not even damn retarded like this. Cut me off? Flick me off? Honk at me for no reason? Let it slide! Not worth it! Only time I honk is when I’m almost to the point of being ran over or to let someone know they can come into my lane followed with a courteous wave of the hand of course.

I’ll just look at the good…I love your picture scenario. It is so cute. Looks like Christmas all over again.
Sorry man but you just wrong if this played out like I think it did. Not enough details to be sure.
The way the “rules of the road” work and common courtesy and politeness work is you go I go first come first serve.
This means first to intersection has right of way and that when you have alternating passage is considered correct (by 99% of drivers) to share passage. If I get to the intersection first I go first then you go first then the person behind you WAITS for the car behind me to go and then he goes. Share passage.
ANY other way whatsoever WILL cause the problem YOU encountered. a petty argument over who has right of way.
Be fair be courtious
Hi Chris! Those rules apply to a four way stop but not in this case. It “should” apply to this I admit but doesn’t happen that way. Lets use for instance that I am the yellow car: I have never once been offered the right-of-way- ever! That car should have turned before I even reached a stop. What do I do? Stop completely to let him out? Usually when making those turns, you coast in without completely stopping unless there is a lot of traffic that would prevent you the turn. Not to mention the 5-10 cars following behind me- it’s a two lane! I try to be courteous whenever possible! Also, the link to your website does not work!
Ok your blog sucks. I forgot to put in the security code and when I clicked back it wiped out everything I typed. Not cool. I am debating on if I want to bother to type it all again. if your gonna use security at least learn the code to make sure it does not DUMP my content on me 🙁 I am too tired to retype all of that all over again. maybe tomorrow its 0300 here 🙁
It happens. User error, not necessarily the blog. It’s good security if it’s working. I don’t know one line of code in wordpress. I Just use it:-)
