No joke about trust! The intersection I mentioned is a 6-lane road, 3 lanes each way. I've seen one car stop and others floor it and go around them. Until all 3 lanes are DEAD STOPPED i am NOT stepping foot (or wheel) in that roadway. I also do not want to be the cause of someone having an auto/motorcycle accident, usually the poor soul doing the right thing gets smashed.
