    This reminds me “nice” cars that do stupid shit because they see a biker. I just want cars to be predictable. I don’t want them to be nice.

    I can’t stand the “oh I’ll stop for you when I’m not supposed to at this 2 way stop” cars.

    Like, dude. This doesn’t help me. I have to wait and make sure the the car coming up behind you also stops and doesn’t just pass you because you’re being stupid.

    And then now there is a car coming the other way and they aren’t stopping (because they don’t actually have a stop sign).

    Can you just drive safe and predictable? I literally WANT to wait here until there are NO cars. Not 3-4 cars I now have to hope stop and don’t kill me.

    When people do this I literally just get off my bike now to make it obvious I don’t want their “help”. I’ve had too many times where people doing this have put me in danger. I have eyes. I want to wait until it’s clear.
