Singing my song!!! I haven't read the article yet, but will. I have always maintained that a driver needs to "take" their right of way. Someone posted a while back on a similar thread that one does not have the ability to take a right of way, only give it. I wholehearted disagree with that. Just follow the rules and nobody gets hurt.

There are a few intersections around town where a lot of people think it is a 4-way stop, for some reason. Point in case, the intersection near Fresh Market at Wedgewood and the road that leads to Beall's. Drivers hesitating when they don't know what to do. Other drivers who zip right through, thinking the other drivers know it's their right of way. It's just a really dangerous spot. I think it should just be made a 4-way stop to avoid the confusion. I've actually never seen an accident there, but still scares me.
