    Slow and courteous is great, but I can’t stand it when people break common road rules to be courteous. That becomes confusing and dangerous.

      Don’t be polite: be predictable.

      Don’t wave that other person through the intersection when it’s your turn, it just creates confusion. Go through like you are supposed to.

      Don’t slow down to let the yeilding traffic in. They are supposed to YEILD TO YOU.

      Absolutely! Behave as expected and everything will go better.

      There’s a thing called “the wave of death” where one driver stops in the middle of a road and waves for a pedestrian to cross, but the cars going the other way don’t know this person just decided to do that, and the pedestrian has a false sense of safety from being waved across… Bad shit.
