    Witnessed an interesting scene on the way home today at Little Falls/W&OD. I’d gone through the intersection a few seconds earlier.

    A recreational rider probably didn’t stop at the stop sign (I didn’t actually see), motorist had probably seen him approaching, but used his right-of-way and went straight through, rider didn’t stop until driver used the horn. Rider swore at driver. Driver (was in a neck brace of some kind) and shouted something like “You have a stop sign!”, rider went absolutely ballistic, swearing loudly all over the place, rode off the trail to follow car and challenged the driver to come back and fight, etc. Driver ignored rider and kept going. Various stares from other onlookers. Le Sigh.

    While this guy was not technically one (since he was not actually waving you through), the driver who eagerly goes WAY out of his way to “wave you through” the intersection is a classification of driver I like to refer to as “Helpy Helperton”.

    Four pages deep and no one has posted the video reference?
