    Eventually he caught up to him and did pass. He was going a little fast, but he backed off, which I think was a very smart thing to do.

    your coming out of a side street, and want to turn right on a 3 lane road. You have a 4 wheeler coming toward you in the right hand lane, with his right hand turn signal on. You pull out, and he or she hits you right in the side of your fuel tanks.
    This happen to a friend of mine, the four wheeler left his turn signal on, it never went off.
    What you should always do is , never guess, or assume, wait till they make the turn, and then pull out.

    My grandpop, who drove waay back in the day, always told me never to trust someones blinker. He said once he tboned a car when he forgot to turn his signal off and the car pulled out in front of him. I know i have personally held up the side streets traffic because i wont trust a blinker.

    Also why im thinking about it. Dont turn right on red. It takes so long to get up to speed that huge gap you thought you had will close up really fast.
