F***ing morons in the world! Everyone is so damn impatient that now when I am at at four way stop and turning and my ass end is still in the intersection the other car going straight already decides to take off instead of waiting a micro-second for the intersection to be clear. All sorts of scenarios can happen...a pedestrian could appear causing me to brake and then you would crash into the rear of my car. Stop being a moron and think! What the hell are you gonna' do when you get home a nano-second earlier?

How about you use your turn signal and move your ass. If everything is moving as it should, every milimeter of the box should be utilized. Track the movement of the other vehicles and move through. The cumulative time on an 8 hour drive waiting for some local chuckle fucks to finally go is insane.
One should be taking note of order of arrival to know your turn as you approach the intersection. Watch for changing circumstances. And when it is your turn, GO. There are way too many people that pull up to an intersection with absolutely no awareness then sit there way too long while everyone else that arrived after is waiting. Order isn't something negotiated with the other drivers. Take your turn as soon as it is your turn and I suspect there will be less impatient people trying to run you over.
And for fucks sake, pull up to the damn line. If you stop a car length back, then guess what, you still haven't arrived at the intersection and you get no turn.
Hey OP!
Found the guy who didn't wait for you to clear the intersection.
But the truth is, your impatience does not actually justify putting others at risk. Not to mention driving like an idiot has very little chance of reducing your travel time by any appreciable amount.
A skilled driver isn't inpatient. They don't start accelerating into an intersection that isn't clear. They don't tailgate other drivers. You have no better reaction time than any other human. Bad driving habits cause a ridiculous number of deaths. You're not that important; in fact, in the grand scheme of things, you don't matter at all.
No no, he's right.
