If you're in a city (at least the ones I've been in) then the vast majority of people won't care if they have the right away or not so they're surprised when someone follows the law. I know I am as a pedestrian. Because I understand what assholes most drivers (and pedestrians, bicyclists, etc) are I'm not surprised and wave them across (assuming there's a point, if I give right of way but assholes breaking the law keep speeding past in other lanes then there's not any point).
Naturally, all those assholes complain of other assholes out there. In their minds the laws are for everyone else, not them. As one saying goes, "No copee, no stopee." (That, btw, sometimes include stop signs.)
And the one thing that annoyed me was one guy not only stayed out of prison but kept his license after manslaughter while DWI because he had the big bucks to go to a special program to teach the 30-something year old that drinking & driving is bad. Had he been sober when he crashed into someone then he'd be in prison and lucky to ever drive again.
And I can't help but notice how many people complain of tyrannical police states over DUI roadblocks than over much more serious or absurd things (like forbidding Food Not Bombs from feeding the homeless in one park under the Patriot Act by calling what they did "food terrorism" or literally disappearing people who have the wrong last name for months of torture in other countries, etc). If Prohibition wasn't already a failed experiment I'd be willing to support it.
what really grinds your gears?
