People love to run the 4 way stop half a block from the house when headed towards the local pizzeria. Had the right of way their yesterday as Id come to a stop/trackstand several seconds before this Oldmobile drives through in front of me and stops at the pizzeria. No slowing down, no looking to see if it was clear. So I pull up next to the car, whose window is down, and put my mouth inches from the perps ear and yell, "HEY ASSHOLE!!!". I rip him a new one and he calls me a motherfu**er as I leave. I return, slam his car door shut, and give him the patented Otter Stare of Imminent DOOM (tm), and calmly say, "you shouldnt be legally driving, much less passing judgement on anybody". "Well, I didnt see you, so Im sorry." Me: "YOU DIDN"T SEE ME BECAUSE YOU"RE A LAZY MOTHERFU**ER WHO DIDNT BOTHER TO TURN HIS HEAD".  At this point he looks ready to cry, so I ride off, feeling much better.

Road rage is so much more fun when youve been out for a hammer and already have the veins popping out in your forehead. Tip: only let yourself go when the perp is a penciled neck twirp. Beware of gun racks and tinted windows.

Dont get to many gun racks in the UK

Nice one though!

Stupid one, I should watch my temper, but not slowing down for a stop sign and not looking sort of flip my switch.

didnt quite get some of the Yank terminaology there, but i get the gist of it.

4 way stop is a basic intersection here, requiring a full stop. If youre first, youve got the right of way. Simple as that. At this local intersection, people like to just ignore it. It drives me nuts.

what happens if four people arrive simulataeneously?

Thats what makes roundabouts great

In that case someone will courteously flash their lights as a sign of  yielding, and all is good. Thing is, folks are polite around here, but idiots.

I was going from right to left, the driver was coming towards the camera enroute to the pizzeria on the left.

Sounds like you need a roundabout matey.

4 way stop strangly enough works really well, people tend to know if they are first a the intersection.
There are few in sweden but many in the US.

We have one in the city, and people have the hardest time using it. Theres a statue of nekkid people in the middle:

Quote from: bible thumpersA privately funded 40-foot-high bronze sculpture of five naked women and four naked men has been unveiled on public ground in Nashville, Tenn., and some are questioning why such "artwork" is acceptable while a display of the Ten Commandments is not.

What if hed pulled out a Desert Eagle when you shouted in his ear?

The veins were popping out of my forehead this afternoon but only beacuse of a desperate lack of fitness....I only used the bike for the first 4km, the rest  was on foot   (due to being not strictly rideable )
