You're making assumptions again. From your perfectionistic-like attitude, you're probably a worse driver than I am - how's that for an assumption? Though I'm generally good at orienting myself compared to others, it'd be neat to actually learn our different driving styles and see who's a better, more responsible, more aware driver.
And arguably people who rigidly follow rules could be far more dangerous on the roads than not. For example, people who only go 100 kilometres per hour highways in Ontario - the speed limit on most highways here - even in the slow lane, cause traffic to have to move into passing/fast lane to go around them.
The back of a box van didn't have an outward moving door zone - and it was impossible to see that there was a pedestrian about to step out because the box van had no windows; nice try cherrypicking and not understanding/visualizing my argument fully/accurately in order to try to make an argument point.
So do you go exactly the speed limit where you live - or perhaps you even below the speed limit on highways?
I do always put my turn signal on because that's respectful as a warning to let people know your intentions ahead of time, and the blinking alerts the brain to a change before the movement actually starts (at least that's how they're meant to be used).
You didn't respond however to my example of rolling forward at an intersection, say where you're turning right, but it's a blind spot to the left - so you have to roll out as normal behaviour - to check if it's safe to continue with the full turn. So are you saying people should never do this, even though it's accepted-common practice (and what they actually teach in driving schools), because it's the same behaviour as a rolling stop - except the person comes to a full stop first and then slowly rolls out?
With all the assumptions you're making, I'm curious how quickly you're imagining the rolling stops I do are - in the limited circumstances/scenarios/contexts that I actually very occasionally do them?
I appreciate the conversation BTW - so thank you.
