I was waiting at the end of a small road that leads to/from a restaurant a
few days ago. The (two lane) cross-street is busy since Hwy 21 is just down
at the corner stop-light. There were two cars ahead of me, waiting their
turn. Someone on the cross-street stopped to let us pull out from this
small road. Okay, that's nice and all but you have the right of way. Don't
you see those 25 cars lined up behind you who also have the right of way?!
Don't do that unless you're the only one on the road.
