    Font - Cut me off on the road, be an Ohole, and then lie about it? Thank God for dash cams. Want to preface this by saying that I'm a usually chill driver. What me off completely, though, is when other drivers are Ohole idiots and then get at me. At that point, all bets are off.

    Font - Case in point: I'm at a four-way stop sign. I arrive first, and I clearly have right-of-way. As I start to make a left turn, a car on my right side rolls through the stop sign and makes a left turn, cutting me off. I honk at him, annoyed, and he gets aggressive and starts honking at me and flips me off.

    Font - The other driver C s that he had right-of-way because he was on the "main road" and I was coming down a "side road." Police tells him it's a four-way stop, so the guy changes his story and says he actually did stop and but the police didn't see him because he was in a blind spot. Granted, there are a lot of trees/bushes at the intersection, so it was technically possible. But that's not what happened.

    Font - The officer was going to let both of us off with a "warning" but I refused to take partial blame for something that wasn't my fault. I pulled a Karen and got my dash cam, which of course showed that he rolled through the stop sign and cut me off. got a ticket. This time, I flipped him off as I drove away.

    Font - Puzzleheaded-Desk399. 18 hr. ago Well done SnowPearl. You proved right of way and that definitely wasn't a "Karen", maybe a Justine. Yeah, let's go with Justine for justice.

    Font - _my_choice 15 hr. ago The officer, from the way I read this, was wrong to say he was going to issue you both a warning. If you arrived first at a 4 way stop, you had the right of way. Even if the other driver stopped but then continued, cutting you off, he is guilty of running the stop sign. At a 4 way stop you do not continue until the intersection is clear.

    Font - SnowPearl OP 15 hr. ago He didn't see who arrived first, only that the other driver cut me off and we were honking at each other. There were bushes/trees that blocked the officer's view and he couldn't tell what the other driver did upon arriving at the stop sign. As far as the officer was concerned until I showed him the dash cam footage, both of us were at fault because neither of us "obeyed traffic laws in a busy intersection and school zone." Except I definitely did. And my dash cam p
