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.

"Don't be polite. Be predictable." -dad

Family means nothing to this guy.

Probably played by B-list actor van Petrol.

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.

Yeah! Make those peasants yeild to your law enforced and god given right, to hell with being nice! /s

Yeah don't do wave another person through, that's just an accident waiting to happen

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.

Wait he didn't get out to give you a handy?

[-] DasRubberDuck@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

Not at that specific time, no.

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

Kinda want this on a shirt 💭

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

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

Don't be nice, be predictable.

[-] RushingSquirrel@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Is that how he skips stop signs?

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.

[-] PowerGloveSoBad@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm thinking more along the lines of Slow and Courteous: 10-and-2 Grip
