2-1 score this morning
Saw two clueless drivers and one considerate driver.
1st clueless: car turning right at a GREEN stoplight, but stopped waiting for the driver across the intersection to turn left on green. That car had a UVA sticker on the back window.
2nd clueless: driver stopped waaaaay far back at the forward gas pump, while I pulled in right behind her at the rear gas pump. I had to pull up fairly close to her bumper to get the nozzle close to my gas cap. I refilled, and started pulling out when I finally saw her try to open her driver's door, but she had parked too close to the bollard, so she needed to pull forward to where she should have pulled up in the first place which is where she could open her door without worrying about the bollard. Did I mention I pulled in just after her, refueled, and was pulling away before she even tried to open her door? Idiot! Idiots like her are the main reason we have long lines at gas pumps.
One considerate driver stayed in the middle lane at a stop light so she wouldn't impede anyone trying to make a right turn on red, then pulled into the right lane after the intersection. Two thumbs up for someone who was probably thinking about the drivers around her.

Like my BIL that stops and waits for a roundabout to be completely clear? **

True, I don't like being waved to go when someone else has the right of way

Isn't that the truth! A lot more drivers also means there are more...
