Quite the opposite are those people who come whizzing up to a
Stop sign on a side road with no intention of stopping unless
they must. If I am the driver of the nearest car on the main
road, I don't appreciate it since I am not always convinced they
will notice me. I have been often sufficiently alarmed to slam
on my brakes and, of course, hit the horn at the same time. I've
given up counting the number of angry, offended or sometimes
superior looks.
