I was at the corner of the 32 and the 1 today getting some gas at the VP and I watched as cars pulled up to the stop signs there. I was counting how many cars actually stopped, and out of the six I counted the number came to a whopping zero. We are a fast paced society. We can't even come to a complete stop at a stop sign. It does feel weird though making sure you stop all the way at a stop sign when no one else is at that four way stop. Try it next time you're out. Make sure you stop all the way and count to two. It's a really weird feeling. A really weird legal feeling.

Your post reminded me of this song:
The Accident (Things Could Be Worse)
© John Prine
It was a four way stop dilemma
we all arrived the same time
I yielded to the man to the right of me
and he yielded it right back to mine
well, the yield went around and around and around
till Pamela finally tried
just then the man in the light blue sedan
hit Pamela's passenger side.
Pamela hit her head on the mirror
Mrs. Walker got a bump on the knee
the man hit himself in the face and said
"Why does this happen to me?"
the neighbors came out
and they gathered about
saying "Hey! who hit who anyway?"
and the police arrived at a quarter to five
and pronounced all the victims "Okay".
You HAVE to be a John Prine fan,(which I am pretty sure you aren't) but I thought I would share anyway...
Sue- Excellent choice. One of my favorite John Prine songs.
I'm not a fan but I enjoyed it never the less!
Twice I have stopped at a stop sign and waited and waited and waited for it to turn green! LOL
