“No, you go!”

By

This happens to me at least once a day. A car is stopped at a four-way stop as I approach on my bike. The driver, probably assuming I’m going to blow through the stop sign, does not proceed through the intersection. I come to a complete stop – like I’m supposed to. The driver waves me on. I shake my head to say “no.” He waves me on with more fervor. I shake my head more. This goes on until the driver finally proceeds – usually speeding off in a huff.

Is the driver upset because I waved off…
