Drivers that are "Too Courteous"
Right...this is a problem I bet more of you wish you had...
There seems to be an increasing trend on my commute for drivers to yield the right of way to me, even when I am not entitled to it.
For example, I stop at a stop sign, the cross traffic does not have to stop. I'm patiently waiting for the cross traffic to clear. But this guy stops anyway, and waves me through.
All I can figure is that if I go, someone will rear end him and push them both into me. No thanks.
So I feign a mechanical problem, wave thanks and wave him through.
This has happened four times in the last month. Although I really appreciate the consideration, I can see it could cause more trouble than it's worth.
So, what do y'all do in this situation?
