I just had an interesting incident. As I was riding my bike, I was approaching and intersection to my left about 50 yards in front of me. A car came through the intersection and made a right turn. A car behind him came to a complete stop at the stop sign, looked at me, looked to his left and then pulled out right in front of me and I jammed on my brakes. As he was coming out of the intersection, he looked back toward me and cut off the corner of the intersection and stayed in the wrong lane for a little bit in order to avoid me colliding with him.

I guess for some people he was fine because he came to a complete stop at the stop sign.

As I continued my ride, I stopped at several busy intersections and noticed that not one car came to a full and complete stop with zero rotation of the wheels and not one of these cars caused any kind of a problem. They could see very well in every direction while rolling a four or five mph. They all proceeded very safely. But the guy that came to a full stop, almost caused and accident.

I go back to my point and say that it's not always about following the letter of the law and getting all the little details correct. It's about using common sense to proceed safely.
