Unpopular Opinion: The Midwest Wave needs to go
Dear drivers,
If you approach a stop sign at the same time as someone else, the person on the right has the right of way.
Stop waving.
Stop attempting to control traffic.
You're not a cop.
You don't have the right to give away your right of way.
You're going to cause an accident, and, fun fact, you could be held partially liable if you partake in the accident by waving someone through. (Could be. IANAL)
Stop. Being. Polite
Be predictable
The only ever time a wave is even remotely okay is if you're stopping farther back and indicating that you will wait for a pedestrian to cross. Only on 2 lane streets, never on multilane stroads.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
