Stop RIGHT NOW! (and a gracious encounter)
Stop RIGHT NOW!
The simple rule is "First Come, First Served".
The rule works well, and it is usually observed by most drivers, even those who are in a tearing hurry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rule works well unless you are J. M. Povey who is driving north on Shade Ave, SRQ and A.N.Other who is driving east on Floyd St.
JMP completely ignored his stop sign.
A.N. Other ignored his too.
Crash?
Not a bit of it. Just in time JMP slammed on his brakes and veered right. And A.N Other slammed on his brakes are veered left.
WOW
Two distracted drivers
A near accident.
No collision, no damage, no injuries.
NO ANGER!
JMP and A.N Other did better than to get angry and to play the blame game.
We looked at each other as we realized were both at fault, and that we were grateful that there had been no accident, no damage, no injuries.
What would you do in such circumstances?
A.N. Other and I grinned a grin of gratitude, gave each other the thumbs up, and proceeded on our lawful ways.
Four way stop signs are common in the U.S.A. (and maybe in other lands) They are a very efficient means of traffic control at the intersections of two lane urban streets.
