    As long as they are not causing further traffic issues by not being predictable when yielding right of way when they don’t need to.

    Predictable and cautious is far better than slow and courteous.

    Slow and courteous is great, but I can’t stand it when people break common road rules to be courteous. That becomes confusing and dangerous.

      Don’t be polite: be predictable.

      Don’t wave that other person through the intersection when it’s your turn, it just creates confusion. Go through like you are supposed to.

      Don’t slow down to let the yeilding traffic in. They are supposed to YEILD TO YOU.

      Absolutely! Behave as expected and everything will go better.

      There’s a thing called “the wave of death” where one driver stops in the middle of a road and waves for a pedestrian to cross, but the cars going the other way don’t know this person just decided to do that, and the pedestrian has a false sense of safety from being waved across… Bad shit.

    I love people in traffic thanking me, even if they had the right of way.

    Happend to me this morning: I had to stop behind a parked car in my lane to let the guy in his lane go first past, he thanked me although I just followed the rules and it instantly put a smile on my face.

    If two people arrive at a 4 way stop simultaneously the right-most person is supposed to go.

    Don’t be nice, be predictable.

    Slow and Curteous: Tokyo Grip

    Someone more clever than me can make a joke with that, I was picturing some kind of super polite tire salesman who primarily deals in snow tires.
