WHen I took Driver's Education in High School in the early 80's, I still remember at the stop signs is always the person to your right goes first if you all pretty much arrive at the same time.+1. Its so simple if someone is on your right then wait. If they are on your left go. So many people cannot get this simple rule. And yes it is the rule and the law I dont care if you're flashing your lights I am waiting if you are on my right.

Four way stops are easy. There's never a time that you have to flash headlights to yield to someone. If you're doing that, you might be the one breaking the law (failure to take right of way).
But then, what about when it's built up (long lines from all 4 directions), and who arrives first loses distinction?? Or maybe it's narrowed down to 2 cars (arriving first and second). It gets to a point where someone has to say, Ok, I'll yield to you (flash headlights).
You take my courtesy AND YOU'LL FUCKING LIKE IT.
If not, you start pissing off everyone else behind us, and you become THAT GUY.

Whatever the case may be, it doesn't maintain the normal ebb and flow. Then other drivers start getting impatient, and it worsens a bit.Yes, 4 way stops cause huge headaches at times. Why is it so damn difficult for some folks?
I've too seen too many times where someone loses track of who's turn it is. This usually happens when a couple left turns happen. While someone's being crossed over on on said left hand turn, they may get skipped. Now they're pissed, and may feel inclined to bust through the intersection, while someone else is going through (who may not give a shit about the guy who's been skipped).
Now, this doesn't happen every single time I'm in a four-way, but in 30 years of driving, I've seen it happen more than a few times. Originally Posted by Randall Creed
