caloso, i also run into clueless drivers once or twice a week in my residential area. i come up and stop at a stop sign, the crossing road has the right of way because there is no stop sign. a driver (travelling perpendicular to my road, on the road WITHOUT a stop sign) stops, then waves at me to go. then i stare and say, "I have the stop sign", then i let a few seconds pass, then I go (usually by this time they flinch on their brake pedal, wondering whether it's just a ploy to run me over).
but this morning's commute was pretty uneventful. -3c, side-roads were slick so i just stuck well to the shoulder where i had some traction.
