To the girl in the white Grand Cherokee

To the girl in the white Grand Cherokee:

My first suggestion, if you do not know how a four-way stop works, is to stay off of the street.  My second suggestion, for the obvious solution, would be to learn how it works.

For future reference, the first vehicle to approach the four-way stop has the right of way, aka the right to go first.  If two vehicles arrive at the exact same time, the car on the right has the ROW.  If two vehicles arrive at the exact same time, facing each other, both can go.  If one is turning, the car going straight has the ROW.

If it is "rush hour" in a small town, it is possible that vehicles will approach from all directions, some going straight, some planning to turn.  In this case, drivers tend to alternate turns: eastbound/westbound drivers going straight or turning right, followed by eastbound/westbound drivers turning left; repeat for northbound/southbound drivers; continue alternating as described until said "rush" is over.

A good rule of thumb: if it seems like everyone besides you is getting a turn, you may have missed your turn.  You can either figure out when it is your turn and go, or you can continue to sit there like an idiot until the drivers of the other cars let you know that it is your turn.  In this case, my third suggestion would be to not be surprised or upset if the advice was less than patient or polite.  If you are offended by this advice, then my fourth suggestion would be to go back to the original suggestion and stay the hell off the street.
