I am all for acting like a car. Take a left turn lane people understand. Ignoring the jerks takes practice.

As [MENTION=313684]spivonious[/MENTION] said you will be surprised by oncoming traffic stops for you. But I always worry about the car stopping getting rear ended by an inattentive driver not expecting the stop. I've never seen it happen but I've seen and heard several squealing tires and avoidance maneuvers.
