> I think I need to explain my concern about the "straight ahead signal." A short distance from my home I come to a four-way corner that is a two-way stop. Hwy 11 goes straight through, and when the traffic clears, I have to deal with the moron at the stop sign across the highway. His signal is usually not on, but I know from experience that he might go left, right, or straight. Sometimes he will wave violently at me to go ahead and make my turn so he can run into me and then tell the cop how I turned in front of him. I will usually go if I am turning right, but about half the time I need to turn left. In that case I pretend that I don't see him waving, so that sooner or later, he will go ahead with whatever he wants to do. If I am lucky, there won't be another moron behind him.

Tangent here. . . .
Talking about morons, for the last 15-18 months I've dealt with a few of them, usually at one particular intersection. Like yours, it's a regular intersection with stop signs in two directions. My trouble is that when I'm stopped, waiting for traffic to clear so that I can cross or turn onto the other street, some moron who is on the other street, which has no stop sign or even a yield sign--in short, somebody WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY will come to a DEAD STOP and potentially block traffic at this intersection and motion for me to go. I also tend to ignore them until they go on. I appreciate altruism and all that, but coming to a stop when there is in fact every logical reason to keep going is just plain ludicrous.
