Not surprised. Seems like people in these parts think they have the right away no matter what. No patience & they are inconsiderate. I despise driving around here & fear an accident on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I'm in sales & in the car all day throughout the DC Metro area.

Lexus driver - I wish I could say I was surprised. I hate generalizing, but Lexus and Mercedes drivers all seem to have a "I own this road" attitude.

You're not alone; I've noticed that, too. I tend to automatically give them a wide berth because of that apparent tendency. Plus, this particular intersection is one where I've seen some very sloppy, careless driving.
