Paying attention at Hwy crossings

[Rick65Cat]

Went for a short run today. It included coming up to a intersection on a hiway. As I stopped for my stop sign, I assumed the cross traffic had to stop as well.......
I start to pull out then it hits me that the cross traffic isn't slowing down.
I stomped the rear brake and stopped as 2 pickups and a semi crossed in front of me.

I said aloud to myself "It ain't no 4 way stop, IDIOT!!"


Moral, NEVER FRIKKEN ASSUME a 4 way stop!!! ASSUMING will KILL you!

Good reminder. Even if IT IS a 4 way stop, I don't assume anyones stopping. In fact, I pretty much tell myself as I ride the bike that everyone around me is an idiot...I know many aren't, but I ride like they all might hit me.

Glad your ok!!!!
