</div>This is actually my pet peeve. Invariably, when I proceed into the<br>
intersection without stopping--because you're not supposed to, you're<br>
supposed to slow down and proceed with caution--people honk in<br>
outrage. I don't CARE that lack of knowledge of the traffic laws<br>
means they've agreed to pretend it's a four way stop. It's not, and<br>
I'm not going to conform to their peer pressure and pretend it is.<br></blockquote></div></div></div>
