Man... you should try living a day in Miami; I use my horn regularly. This is the least horrible thing that can happen to you over here.

Be thankful that this kind of thing happens to you so rarely that you make a blog about it when it does ;D hehe

I had a similar thing like this happen to me a while back. In fact, it was your same scenario only with 4 cars at each stop sign. I move out as it was my turn and what your old guy did to you, a younger chick did to me. I was really pissed especially because she was on the phone, so I honked my horn and started doing random pissed off hand gestures; she looks over very passively at me, gives me the middle finger and just keeps on going.

I was so shocked! Was kind of funny now that I look back, hehe.

How old was the old guy?

I hear similar stories, and have some of my own. Old people are indeed a stereotype of awful drivers And while there are surely counterexamples to every stereotype, stereotypes wouldn't exist in the first place if they weren't at least partially true at some point in time...

I really think that they need to have another driver's test once you hit around 65 or so... just to make sure you can *keep* your license.

My main pet peeve is people not using their turn signals. I'm not talking people that are in a left hand turn lane, but the 'hey, that guy is going 45, so I'm just going to pull right out in front of him without using my turn signals' type of people.

It has happened to me about 20-30 times since I started driving a few months ago, and it's really starting to grate. It tends to be people talking on their cell phones, too.

Worst case happened a few days ago. I was in a left hand turn lane, braking my way up to the stop line, but I was still going about 30. I'm about four cars away from the line, when out of no where this beat up Sonata (the third car in the lane to the right) pulls in front of me. I had to push even harder on the brakes, and I still almost hit them. That's fine and all, so they're first in the turn lane, and I'm second. Light turns green, and we're there for 30 seconds before they start moving. There's a light right after the turn, and they do it again. I swear they were stoned or something (of course it makes me laugh that this all happened on MLK.)
