Stop Signs, People

I don't know why people in Westchester blow by stop signs. Not only do they ignore stop signs with impunity, but people around here don't seem to know the etiquette for a 4-way stop. The FIRST CAR has the right-of-way, people!! That means that if I get to the 4-way first, that the car coming up the street on my right should STOP his car so that I can drive on. IT DOES NOT MEAN that, "Oh, she's stopped, so I can keep going." (Which is how almost everyone in Westchester thinks) The other day I was caught at a stop sign for five minutes because people kept blowing by their stop signs, assuming that I was just "letting them go."
