Don't forget stop sign running as well. I got plowed in the rear of my car when someone ran the stop sign coming out on the access road next to Taca Cabana here in Norman. The guy never stopped and did almost $3000 damage to the back of my Taurus. Then he says you don't need to call the cops! Yeah right! Immediately dialed 911!
Ended up with a shoulder injury from the seat belt but not wearing one would have been a lot worse!
It was a bright sunny day -- no precipitation!

Your post triggered a thought (besides being glad you weren't seriously injured) : Maybe it's the lack of Taco Cabanas up here that make such poor drivers.

Nobody knows how to do four-way-stops here. They just SIT there when it's their turn. Exasperating. I don't know how many times it turned into a battle of wills--he waves me through, I start to go, he starts to go--we both stop and wait...he waves me through, and this time I'm not willing to be taken in so I wave HIM through, and he waves ME through again, so finally I start to go and then....

I learned the lesson about "never call the cops" when I let a young lady go on with only phone numbers exchanged..when my car appeared to be undamaged. However, in daylight and no rain, there was indeed damage underneath the car that didn't show on the outside. There turned out to be nothing I could do but eat it.
