    What would you have done...

    Here's the situation, I'm out with the dog for our daily evening walk, and come to a "T" all way stop intersection. A driver in a black Mercedes blows the corner while I'm standing there waiting to cross. I carry a flashlight with me during these dark nights so I lit him up as he goes by (his passenger window was down) I stay at the corner while he starts to back up. Then he turns around and heads back the way he was going and stops a block down on the next street, all the while I'm watching him. I continue on my walk and he comes back around the block and we have words:

    Him (a late teen early twenty something) "Do you think it's appropriate to shine a flashlight at someone when they are driving?"

    Me "When they don't stop at a stop sign where I'm standing, yes."

    Him "That's dangerous! I could have spun out and hit someone "

    Me "You could have hit me because you didn't stop at the STOP SIGN"

    Him (something along the lines of) " I'll do want I want when I' driving"

    Me " how about stopping at the FUCKING STOP SIGN"

    He then drove off.

    What would you have done?

    You did good, I probably would have called in his plate, I'm a dick like that. I may have also put my phone on record and let the cops have that as well if they wanted. Residential areas are no place for shenanigans.

    I know where he lives, and I'm still thinking about filing a Road Watch report. Wht really pisses me off is that he lives in the neighborhood and drives like that.

    Dude down the street in his AMG feels it's beneath him to even slow down for the T intersection to the south of me. Blows the stop sign on the way out in the morning and again in the evening.

    Do it. The cops will at least call him and if the reports conitnue I'm pretty sure they can fine him.

    Rick. You should do the same.

    I'm a dick I know. But people need to respect residentials, I know we're all in a rush, but lives are at stake here.

    Several in the neighborhood have called about him / the intersection itself until blue in the face..................nothing has transpired to date.
