The other day as I drove along an unfamiliar road I came to a four way stop along with three other cars. Three of the vehicles got to the intersection at virtually the same time, with the fourth being way behind and the very last motorist to access the crossroads. Everyone was being very courteous, “you go”, “no you go,” “oh but I insist you go” gestures and facial expressions were exchanged by us three drivers who reached the intersection together, totally ignoring the fourth driver who just kind of languished there a teenager on her phone waiting for someone to make the first move.
Still the discourse in driving etiquette continued and no one moved. The teenager in her supped up coupe became livid. As we waited there not moving she gunned her gas pedal and sped off! We all looked at her disappearing wake in horror and superior disgust then we slowly dispersed from the intersection in an orderly fashion, giving the exhausted TEENAGERS, shake of the head.
We had not been at the crossroads longer than four minutes!
