AMERICAN INTERSECTION RULES FOR DRIVERS. Very important.
If two people are opposing each other at a stop sign intersection, and one of them is going straight through and the other is SIGNALING to make a left turn, the person GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH has the right of way, and needs to go first. If you're the one making a left turn, DON'T cut them off. Wait for them to go, then you can go. You can prepare to make the turn, but until the other party crosses the intersection, that's ALL you're supposed to do.
If you're opposite a person at an intersection who is signaling to make a left turn, and you're planning on going straight through, and they ease forward into the intersection slightly (30-40%), THAT'S KOSHER. It doesn't mean they're making the turn. It SHOULD mean that they're PREPARING to make the turn. You should go straight through unless they're showing signs of actually beginning to make the turn (i.e., starting to swing the car left). In that case, they need driving lessons and they're in the wrong. Be careful!
Easily 60% or more of the people I see at stop sign intersections presumably have driver licenses but have NO IDEA of the rules they're supposed to be following. They shouldn't have those licenses if they are confused about these basic procedures, which are based on pure logic.
