Almost got his today....

Heading south on Round Swamp road, as I approached the triangle at the end, I pulled to the center of the lane and signaled that I was going left. I had both a front white and rear red strobe on and there's no traffic control in my direction. Coming from the right fork was a car that had a yield sign and never slowed down forcing me to swerve to avoid getting hit.

From the side road I saw police car that just put its lights on and followed the car. I decided to turn around and caught up to the police car about 100 yards up the road. I asked the cop if he was him blow through the yield sign. The cop said YES and was pulled him over for failure to yield.

That triangle is very dangerous and try to make myself as visible as possible, but many drivers are just too distracted.
