Fubar, I had a feeling you were probably doing the right thing. Just thought I would go ahead and throw out a reminder just in case. I had a somewhat similar incident last Friday. On a street lined with apartment complexes someone came up behind me just a few yards before a stop sign for which I was already slowing. They honked. I stopped for the stop sign and turned right. The car turned behind me. On this street, there were 3 cars in front of me, 20 mph speed limit, and stop signs every block. I had no trouble staying right behind the cars in front of me and had to wait for at least 2 of the cars in front to stop for the stop sign before I stopped. Immediately after turning on to this street, the following car again honked. Only at this point did I suspect that she had been honking at me the prior time. Keep in mind there was no place for her to go even if she passed me. After the first stop sign on this street, again immediately behind the car in front of me, approaching another stop sign, I hear the young lady yelling out the window "Excuse me! Excuse me! By this time I was STOPPED again behind the 2 cars in front! Another block, another stop sign, but after stopping for the stop sign, she could not even catch up with me before the last one so I was already moving by the time she got there, turned left and pulled over to the right of the lane since there was space for her to pass now, which she did. I mean no harm done, but where the hell did she think she was going to go? I was right on the tail of the car in front of me very shortly after each stop sign, and certainly before she even caught up with me. Would she have been honking at another car? I don't think so. Some people are just idiots who don't look any farther ahead than their own steering wheel.
Regards,
Raymond
