How many times have you pulled up to a four way stop and not given the
other driver a thought that he/she might not stop.


Drive a motorcycle. Then come talk to me.

YOu do that every time then. YOu check to see if they're going
to stop at *any* stop sign. You check to see if they're going
to stop at red lights. YOu check to see that they're driving
on their side of the line. You check everything.

That is, if you want to stay alive. A bit of motorcycle experience is a very
powerful lesson in defensive driving. It really sharpens your attention.
Assuming you live through it, of course.

Ditto for bicycling. If anything you're even more invisible than on a
motorcycle, and you can't hit the throttle to accelerate away from a
problem.
