A Signal Light Isn't Just an Accessory

As I was driving back to work yesterday, I was following a truck doing 10km/h less than the speed limit. In the school zone, I don't have much of an issue with it, but after the school zone, I find very few ppl who actually speed up the 50km/h speed limit that the rest of town has except for school zones and playgrounds. So this truck proceeds to drive 10 under and do 40km/h down the road.

Suddenly, he decides to hit the brakes and veer off to the right hand side to let me go around him. It would have been useful if he had used his signal light to let others know of his intentions. It was so sudden, that had I not been paying attention, I may have ploughed right into his bumper and suffered more damage to my car than his truck could have possibly endured by his sudden movements without any type of warning from his signal light.

Luckily for me, I try to pay attention to the other drivers around me and try not to do something that could possibly cause an accident if I am possibly causing someone road rage....

4-way Stops, or Lack Thereof

I was on my way to do my weekly grocery shopping. I come to the 4-way stop down the street. The car to my right stopped before I did so they obviously have the right of way. What the truck behind them failed to notice was that you have to pull up to the stop line, stop and then proceed. Not stay stopped where they were behind the car in front of them and then disregard the rules of right of way at a 4-way stop. I technically had the right of way after the car since I stopped at the stop line just after the car did and before the truck did.

Apparently he had a case of 'not so common' common sense that day....
