You really have to give the benefit of a doubt, you know. That's the way I drive when I'm in uncharted territory. Also, over the years I've noticed that different areas have different quirks in traffic etiquette. Around here folks jump on the brakes and wave someone at a stopsign out. You nearly rear end them if you're not ready. Other places fling the door open into traffic, expecting the driver to watch for them. Now, if you mix your quirk with a foreign quirk, you're just asking for trouble. And it annoys the locals...
