Ok   so some people here in Kingwood don't understand a 4 way stop.  It is not a one at a time occurrence. especially if there are lines of cars in all directions.  If 2 cars are at stop signs across from each other they each go at the same time.  They go straight ahead.  UNLESS one has on their blinker.   So either use a blinker   or expect to get t-boned.  Person with no directional in little car tried to turn in front of me.  Then got mad I went straight.    I hope either a stoplight gets put in on Mills branch and North park  or  people learn the rules of the road.   4951

I think this has more to do with following the rules of light while on meds. Take away the lights and they feel hey, I may or may not be doing the right thing here. Without lights I have no true way of determining what I should do.    4951

My ability to read the minds of those in other cars seems hampered by the rain.  Use your d@** directional. 4951

I just don't understand why people don't use their blinker. Then they get mad at you because you don't know what they are doing. The law should allow a person to pull the blinker challenged driver out of their vehicle and beat them senseless.
 
Just my opinion though....lol. 4951

But the blinker is so hard to use....being so far from the steering wheel and never in the same place in any car, and forget about the sheer muscle power it takes to engage it.  I mean you practically need super human strength...just far too difficult... 4951

@allymansfield: Now you're sounding like me. My favorite is - were turn signals optional when you bought that vehicle?  I use to think it was arrogance - now I've come to realize it's just stupidity plus they are using their phone doing who knows what.............. I can talk on the phone & still use a blinker, but most people aren't that smart. I saw a woman on the highway chatting away on her phone & crossed 3 lanes of traffic right in front of people without using her turn signal. It was a brand new Lincoln, please don't tell me it doesn't have bluetooth adaptability. What are you too stupid to use it?

AND...that four way stop seems to attract people that have the attitude that "even though the other guy got there first,  I am in such a hurry that I'm gonna beat him across the line."  How hard is it to wait your turn??!! 4951

@thegoodwife: Its not stupidity as much as it is "I don't give a **** about anyone but myself".  Funny how those people are usually the first to complain about others acting the same way they do.  HA!  What really annoys me though is the police cars.  I have yet to see a police officer in a police car utilize the turn signal, local or highway.  I know their cruisers tend to be bare bones minimum, but I doubt they skimped on the blinkers.  They should be leading my example!  If you are going to pull someone over for a behavior, you better make sure you aren't doing it.

Yes I get really annoyed when people don't use their blinker!
I even have to get after my husband sometimes which really makes me mad..
Its just people now in days don't care about safety anymore or giving the right of way..
I now just let them go even if it's my go for the safety if everyone!
